The Alliance for Science & Technology Research in America (ASTRA) has created state-specific R&D sheets to help illustrate the importance of scientific research to state and local economies, job growth, innovation, the U.S. standard of living, and national security. The downloadable documents represent comprehensive data from a variety of science and technology indicators. See Alaska indicators at: http://www.usinnovation.org/files/CVD08AlaskaRD.pdf
