Scaling local innovations to address national concerns will help sustain the skilled, agile workforce needed to ensure US competitiveness and security. The necessary data exist. Key measures are possible and immensely valuable. The US needs a mechanism to develop consensus, facilitate innovation, and streamline production and dissemination of results.
