Abstract	America’s Challenge Action is essential. Innovation drives economic growth, determining America’s living standards and those of its metropolitan areas. However, as global competition stiffens, the nation’s leadership in innovation is under threat. For example, the United States’ share of worldwide total domestic R&D spending fell from 46 percent in 1986 to 37 percent in 2003. Moreover, expanded support for basic research and science education, while important, will not be enough to respond to this challenge. Without a robust, targeted, and explicit federal innovation push, U.S. competitiveness will slip and economic growth will lag.
