Bill to strengthen science and technology education and research programs in America.
The problem
The United States faces competition in scientific innovation and needs to improve science education and research opportunities for students across the country.
The proposal
The bill supports science, technology, engineering, and math education programs and increases funding for research initiatives in schools and universities.
The impact
Students, educators, research institutions, and the science workforce are affected through increased educational opportunities and research funding availability.
More funding helps schools teach science better and provides students with hands-on learning opportunities. This prepares young people for science careers and improves scientific literacy.
Increased research funding allows universities and institutions to conduct more scientific studies. This can lead to new discoveries and innovations that benefit society.
Strong science programs help America compete internationally in technology and innovation. This supports economic growth and job creation in high-tech fields.
Better science education creates more pathways to well-paying careers in STEM fields. This helps students from all backgrounds access better jobs.
The bill requires federal funding, which increases government spending and national budget demands. Taxpayers bear the cost through taxes or other budget priorities may be cut.
Large education and research programs can be difficult to manage effectively. Resources might not reach all schools equally or programs may face delays.
Education investments take years to show measurable results in competitiveness or innovation. Success depends on how well schools implement the programs.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
