White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
The Federal Government plays a critical investment role in maintaining
American leadership in science and technology. In 1976, the Office of
Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) was created to provide the
President with timely policy advice and to coordinate the science
and technology investment. Led by its director, Dr. John H. Gibbons,
OSTP has assumed a prominent role in advancing the Clinton
Administration's agenda in fundamental science, education and
scientific literacy, investment in applied research, and international
cooperation.
