Government Initiatives

Fed. Gov. R&D Investment

Invested in technology for national security and economic development– Example: Fed. R&D in 1930s represented 20% of all R&D--75%

DoD and USDA The Federal Government was the largest investor in

R&D since WW II They continued to be the largest investor until the mid

‘70’s when industrial investment dramatically increased Over the last decade 80% of the research funding has

gone to health and defense 2009 - $150B in federal R&D; Stimulus package added

an additional $21.5B, 60% is contracted to outside entities

R&D Funding

Examples of Major Government Initiatives

The Internet

Human Genome Program

Nanotechnology

Stem Cell Research in California

Alternative Energy and Sustainability

The Federal government is the single largest consumer in the nation, purchasing more than $350 billion in goods and services each year.

Green Mandates Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Section 6002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act, Section 9002 Greening the Government through Waste Prevention,

Recycling and Federal Acquisition (Executive Order 13101) Leadership in Environmental Management (Executive Order

13148) Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and

Transportation Management (2007), Executive Order 13423 Federal Acquisition Regulation: Subparts 23.2, 23.4, 23.7,

Federal Green Procurement

State Gov. R&D Investment

Spend Invest significantly in R&D– Academic institutions– Home-based businesses

Provide funds for state funding generated from:– General revenue, lottery, revenue bonds, designated tax

funds (87.4%)– Federal monies passing through state (9.3%)– Industry and non-governmental sources (3.3%)

Allow states to reinvent themselves– CA--stem cell research– OH--Centers of Excellence (5)– South--automotive corridor– Massachusetts - biotech

Stimulus Funding

Stimulus Package – New Opportunities $132.7B for Infrastructure

$21.5B in New R&D

$26.6B for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Projects

$5.3B for National Telecommunications

$19B for Health Information Technology (HIT) Initiative

Green Mandates

Significant amount of funds will flow to the States

R&D

R&D Funds

16% increase in R&D budget that is split between NIH, DOE, and NSF

DOE’s Focus is on Sustainability, Energy Efficiency, Alternative Energy Projects; Mechanism for receiving funding will either be open solicitation or program expansion

NIH and NSF Focus will be on expanding on existing initiatives and sending out open solicitations on already “vetted” initiatives

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Projects Applied R&D $2500 MM Biomass $800MM Geothermal $400MM Research to improve

efficiency $50MM Energy Efficiency Block

Telecommunications

Purpose/Objectives

(1) Provide access to broadband in un-served areas;(2) Provide improved access to broadband in

underserved areas(3) Provide broadband education, awareness, training,

equipment, and support;(4) Improve access and use of broadband by public

safety agencies; and(5) Stimulate the demand for broadband, economic

growth, and job creation.

Telecommunications

Public Computing Center Grants$200,000,000

Competitive grants to expand public computer center capacity, including community colleges and public libraries.

State Broadband Data & Development Grants$350,000,000

To develop and maintain broadband inventory maps.

Sustainable Adoption Grants$250 ,000,000

Competitive grants for innovative programs to encourage sustainable adoption of broadband service.

Infrastructure Grants $3,890,000,000

Provide access in underserved areas; education, awareness, training, equipment; job creating strategic facilities, improve access to public safety agencies; stimulate demand.

Health Information Technology Initiative Goal develop by 2014 a national health information

network for the exchange of electronic health records that would:– Ensure protection and privacy of health care information– Improve patient care by reducing medical errors– Reduce costs by removing administrative barriers that

result in duplicative claims and services– Improve coordination of care among health care providers– Improve public health services and emergency response

systems, including bioterror events and infectious disease outbreaks

ARRA provides $19 billion for the HIT Initiative– $2 billion in discretionary funds for infrastructure

development and specification– $17 billion for investments and incentives through

Medicare and Medicaid

Examples of Leveraging HIT

Department of Health & Human Services will publish initial HIT implementation details and standards by December 31, 2009

Expected to clear the way for execution of infrastructure development and specification funds provided in ARRA– Regional “health information research technology

centers” selected by HHS will assist in the development of infrastructure, provide technical assistance, and suggest best practices that support adoption of HIT

– States may seek planning and implementation grants to bolster HIT development

Infrastructure

Several Retrofit opportunities at the Federal level

Significant funds will be driven by the State IRI companies are taking advantage of this

initiative by:– Building construction

• Federal – in five years all federal buildings will have to comply with the green mandate, insure customer base has product specified as meeting the green mandate

• State – no federal compliance– Road, waterways

• Existing technologies, no drive to do anything else, make sure that your customers are bidding on the projects

• Opportunities for R&D funds not procurement

Products Sales Leveraging the Green Mandates Solar panels and wind turbines to equip federal

buildings with clean sources of energy. Eco-friendly office and cleaning supplies Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool 

(EPEAT)-registered, environmentally preferable, electronic product

Alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles Bio-based products Energy Star and Federal Energy Management

Program-designated products, Recycled-content products Renewable energy, and water-efficient products.
