It's time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and work to restore America's place as the world leader in science
and technology. With his support and the support of many other public officials, organizations like the Math and
Science Partnership, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and Project Lead the Way have both developed and
funded a variety of STEM projects. In place currently is the America Competes Act of 2007, which is aimed at
increasing the nation's investment in STEM education from kindergarten all the way through to postdoctoral
education. The act authorizes significant funding increases for the NSF and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA).
