Science Grants Aid Economy, Education

Science Foundation Arizona no longer receives funding from the state of Arizona to issue new research and education grants in Arizona, but the group issued a new report today that showed its programs still contribute to Arizona’s economy and science education.

The group commissioned a report from Battelle Technology Partnership Practice that showed it returned $4.40 for every $1 that the state of Arizona has invested in its university- and nonprofit research-grant programs. The return includes money from the private sector and research funds from federal grants, private foundations and venture capital.
