Public Address: Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL)
Maintaining America's Global Leadership in Innovation and Discovery

Tuesday, March 11, 2014, 10:30 a.m.
1250 I St NW, Suite 500 Washington, DC 20005

In 2011, fifty-three percent of all funding for basic research came from the federal government. Yet as a percentage of our total federal budget, we spend less than one-third on research and development today than we did in 1965. What is even more alarming: while American federal expenditures on research and development are shrinking, the rest of the world is spending more.

Just a week after President Barack Obama released a budget that showed a renewed commitment to funding innovation and discovery, Assistant Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin will deliver a speech at the Center for National Policy to discuss the devastating impact cutting back on federally funded research and development will have on our future, and what we can do to reverse the trend. RSVP now.
