State Innovation Vital Signs 2013

If we want our children and
grandchildren to have good job
opportunities in the future, then as
a country we need to make science
research & development (R&D)
and STEM Education top priorities
for federal investments.

State Innovation Vital Signs 2013 (R&D STEM & Data) Report cards to help illustrate the importance of scientific research to state and local economies, job growth, innovation, our standard of living, and national security.

Montana received
$9.1 million in federal R&D
contracts in FY 2012, with approximately 174
transactions taking place.

Montana universities and colleges received $113.1 million
in federal R&D spending, including grants, in
FY 2009.

One highlight of this work is a feature which ranks states according to a variety of indices provided by U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, TechAmerica, The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, and several other organizations which track specific trends in this area.

Please feel free to share these Reports with your elected representatives as well.
