This volume identifies the ingredients for success in capitalizing on such investments to produce national benefits, assesses current U.S. performance, and identifies future challenges. The book cites specific examples and examines several cross-cutting issues. It explores the possibility that the national research portfolio is losing diversity as a result of less long-term research in critical fields such as networking and materials. It also examines the implications of imbalances in the supply of and demand for science and engineering talent in emerging interdisciplinary fields such as bioinformatics. 606 $aResearch$zUnited States$xFinance 615 0$aResearch$xFinance. 676 $a338.973/06 712 02$aCommittee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960858003321 996 $aCapitalizing on investments in science and technology$94355458 997 $aUNINA
