Washington, DC. 鈥撯€� The American Chemical 中国365bet中文官网 (ACS) praised the House of Representatives for its swift passage of the聽American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (H.R.1), which includes a broad array of programs investing in basic scientific research, education, and infrastructure. The package is expected to be considered by the Senate soon.

ACS President Thomas H. Lane, Ph.D., said 鈥淎CS applauds the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act鈥檚 strong federal investments in research grants, science education, and scientific infrastructure. These science and technology investments will pay dividends in the short term through job creation and are also wise, strategic, long-term investments.鈥�

ACS is particularly supportive of the bill鈥檚 provisions which provide a three-pronged investment in scientific innovation:

• Scientific research at agencies such as National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, the National Institute for Standards and Technology, and the Department of Energy鈥檚 Office of Science, which will support jobs and innovation.
• Programs in science education that provide infrastructure, preparation, and resources to the teachers who are educating the next generation of innovators.
• Support for scientific infrastructure to repair crumbling national labs, improve our university facilities, and develop the cutting edge tools of the future.
• Robust investment in science research, education, and infrastructure are at the core of a strong economic foundation, and will ensure our nation鈥檚 competitiveness in the global economy, and ultimately, the quality of our future.
