Call for Issues Papers on Federal Policy in Support of a National
Innovation System
AGENCY: Office of Science and Technology Policy.
ACTION: Notice--Call for Issues Papers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Committee on Technology (CT) of the National Science and
Technology Council (NSTC) is seeking to develop and implement an action
plan for Federal policy and regulatory reform that will enhance
innovation. While numerous reviews and articles have been appeared in
recent years about the innovation process and the Federal government's
role, this will be the first attempt to develop a specific national
reform program for Federal support of innovation and establish
priorities for Federal action.
As a first step, the CT is soliciting via this announcement input
from industry, academia, non-profits, and state, local and Federal
government on opportunities for Federal policy and regulatory reforms
that will enhance our national innovation system. The CT is inviting
submissions in the form of ``issues papers'' that identify top
priorities and outline ideas for reforming Federal support of
innovation.
Authority: National Science and Technology Policy, Organization,
and Priorities Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-282).
DATES: Deadline for issues paper submissions is September 17, 1999.
ADDRESSES: We urge you to submit your papers electronically (in
Microsoft Word or Word Perfect formats) to information@ostp.eop.gov.
Please include PRIORITIES FOR FEDERAL INNOVATION REFORM in your subject
line. The Title Page of the issues paper should also be clearly marked
PRIORITIES FOR FEDERAL INNOVATION REFORM and include the following
information: Submitting Organization, Contributing Organizations,
Contact Name, Address, telephone, fax number and e-mail address.
Alternately, you may submit hardcopies (3 copies please) to:
