March 24, 2023 - This week, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released a new report, “Bold Goals for U.S. Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing: Harnessing Research and Development to Further Societal Goals,” which outlines priorities for both private and public sectors to pursue R&D in biotech and biomanufacturing. The report draws from contributions from the National Science Foundation and the departments of Energy, Agriculture, Commerce, and Health and Human Services.
ERVA's work was cited and linked in the report as a source for valuable stakeholder perspectives (ERVA’s first two reports have direct relevance to the topic). Acknowledgment of ERVA's role in the report underscores the value of our work and the impact that the combined voices of engineering research can have on national priorities in science and technology.
