"Scientific research supported by the Federal Government catalyzes innovative breakthroughs that drive our economy. The results of that research become the grist for new insights and are assets for progress in areas such as health, energy, the environment, agriculture, and national security." --OSTP Memo
In 2013, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) directed federal agencies with over $100 million in research and development expenditures to develop plans to support increased access to the results of federally funded scientific research.
