Overview on Science and Technology Programs of U.S. Governments

Science and technology programs of U.S. federal government first came into being with the Manhattan Project during World War Ⅱ. The programs areas afterward are gradually expanded to cover science, technology and economy from simply safeguarding national military security, with the aim to maintain competitive advantages of science and technology and emerging industries as well. The United States does not have anything similar to national guidelines for medium- and long-term plans for science and technology development at the national level. Most of the federal government programs are formulated in response to the request of relevant laws made by U.S. congress, which make them highly authoritative and legally mandatory. The government programs in general have very focused mission and objectives. They are designed to explore and provide solutions to some main issues of specific areas with precise targets and detailed management mechanism. The intellectual property rights derived from the programs are wholly the possessions of the institutions which conduct the project, less of their for-profit or not-for-profit nature. Governments have the rights to use those property without on certain conditions. charge
