The '''American Competitiveness Initiative''' (ACI) is a [[federal assistance]] program intended to help America maintain its competitiveness through investment in research and development (R&D) and education. The ACI’s focus is on programs that are likely to strengthen U.S. competitiveness by targeting funding to agencies that support research in the physical sciences. It was launched to strengthen U.S. economic competitiveness by increasing investments in R&D, enhancing STEM education, and promoting innovation. Aimed at ensuring America's continued global leadership in science and technology, the ACI included plans for substantial funding increases in research, education reform, and tax incentives for private sector R&D over a decade.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/stateoftheunion/2006/aci |title=American Competitiveness Initiative |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref> | The '''American Competitiveness Initiative''' (ACI) is a [[federal assistance]] program intended to help America maintain its competitiveness through investment in research and development (R&D) and education.
