H.R. 2980 would require the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to collaborate on research and development activities that focus on a variety of topics, including plasma science, advanced physics, quantum information sciences, and advanced manufacturing. In addition, the bill would require DOE and the NSF to promote data sharing, support research infrastructure, and organize initiatives for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education and training. Within two years of enactment, the bill would require the agencies to report to the Congress on those efforts.
