CASC Response to OSTP RFI on Strengthening the U.S. Science and Technology Ecosystem

The Coalition for Academic Scientific Computation (CASC) appreciates the opportunity to provide input to the Office of Science and Technology Policy on policy updates that can strengthen the nation’s scientific enterprise, accelerate discovery, and ensure that the benefits of scientific progress reach all Americans.

The United States must sustain and grow its commitment to a scientific enterprise that is innovative, collaborative, secured, and open. Strengthening research computing, modernizing funding and compliance systems, supporting place-based innovation, expanding AI-ready infrastructure, and empowering the national research workforce are essential to maintaining global leadership.

CASC and its member institutions stand ready to support OSTP and federal agencies in developing forward-looking policies that advance American science and ensure its benefits reach all communities.
