What is the role of state and local government in the biosciences?
The state and local role is to ensure that the required infrastructure such as research facilities, faculty, and physical infrastructure is in place to leverage federal dollars. Their economic-development role is to help find solutions to fill market gaps in ways that support, spur, link, and leverage ongoing private investments. These economic-development efforts include focusing on public-supported research universities; addressing the future talent pool through education and workforce programs; and ensuring a high quality of life, including a sound tax and regulatory climate.
