Science and Research and Development

The federal government provides funding for a wide range of activities related to science and research and development (R&D); federal policies also affect the private sector's incentives to engage in those activities. CBO's work addresses science and R&D in energy, pharmaceuticals, space and ocean exploration, weapon development, climate change, and more.
