Research Fuels Innovation

For States with prolific research institutions, innovation is a closed loop.

• • If research institutions receive grants, they can build more infrastructure. 

  • If research institutions have more infrastructure, they can obtain more grants.

  • If research institutions obtain more grants, they can obtain more patents.

  • If research institutions obtain more patents, they can fund more programs.

  • If research institutions have more programs, they can attract or grow strong businesses - further funding their programs.

  • If the State sees strong businesses, the State invests in grant funding programs.
