Appropriations for MEP through 2012 would be authorized by S. 69.The Technology Innovation and Manufacturing Stimulation Act of 2007, H.R. 1868,as passed by the House, authorizes funding for NIST through 2010 and createsseveral new manufacturing R&D programs in that organization, as does the HousepassedH.R. 2272, the 21st Century Competitiveness Act of 2007 (among otherthings). Several initiatives detailed in the "American Competitiveness Initiative"announced by the President in the 2006 State of the Union Address are included inbills before the current Congress. The ACI proposed various innovation-relatedactivities including increased basic research funding, making permanent the researchand experimentation tax credit, and improved math and science education. S. 833,the Competitiveness Through Education, Technology, and Enterprise Act of 2007,would make the research tax credit permanent, as does S. 41, the ResearchCompetitiveness Act of 2007, which also creates tax exempt facility bonds for thedevelopment of research park facilities, among other things. H.R. 85, the EnergyTechnology Transfer Act, as passed by the House, would create a program of grantsto non-profit institutions, state and local governments, cooperative extensionservices, or universities to transfer energy efficient methods and technologies. Aspassed by the Senate, S. 761, the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Science Act, authorizesappropriations for NIST through FY2011, as well as provides for the creation ofseveral programs, studies, and initiatives designed to improve U.S. innovation andcompetitiveness, among other things.
