How the Biden administration is expected to approach tech research and development
Andrew Eversden
WASHINGTON — Experts expect President-elect Joe Biden’s administration to build on the Trump administration’s investments in emerging technologies, while adding to research and development budgets in the Defense Department and across the federal government.
The incoming Biden administration signaled throughout the campaign that basic research and development funding would be a priority. Biden wrote in Foreign Affairs he would make research and development a “cornerstone†of his presidency and pointed to the United States having the “greatest research universities in the world.â€
“It’s basic research that’s the area where you get the breakthroughs, and you need long-term, sustained investments to build up a strong S&T base,†said Martijn Rasser, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security’s technology and national security program.
