ASTRA has created 50 state-specific R&D Sheets and 51 K-12 STEM Ed 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.

One highlight of this work is a feature which ranks states according to a variety of indices provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce, including its Technology Administration and the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the American Electronics Association, the Progressive Policy Institute, and several other organizations which track specific trends in this area.

Please feel free to share these State R&D sheets and K-12 STEM Ed Reports with your elected representatives as well.

Also included:

• Human Capital Investment Composite Index
• 2008 State Technology and Science Index
• Technology and Science Work Force Composite Index
• State New Economy Index: Benchmarking Economic Transformation in the States

The Milken Institute's latest Technology and Science Index shows which states are in the best position to achieve economic growth thanks to their high-tech assets, from financial capital to human capital. Massachusetts leads the nation.
