The Public Record
Dan Lipinski is a former Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Illinois's 3rd congressional district from 2005 to 2021. He is known for his centrist positions and focus on issues such as transportation, healthcare, and education. Lipinski served on several committees during his tenure, including the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, where he played a role in shaping transportation policy. He was also involved in various bipartisan efforts, particularly in areas affecting his constituents in Illinois. In 2020, Lipinski faced a significant primary challenge from progressive candidate Marie Newman, which he ultimately lost, leading to his departure from Congress in January 2021.
I'm an ardent supporter of STEM education with two degrees I have in engineering.
I fully support I-Corps and continue to be amazed by its success, but as with any taxpayer-funded program, I also support independent auditing to help us learn how to improve the program.
This bill aims to expand participation in I-Corps without a significant increase in funding.
I urge the adoption of this amendment, which I think would be greatly helpful to the SBIR/STTR program and to American innovation.
The I-Corps program offers valuable entrepreneurial education primarily to scientists and engineers who are college research faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows.
The U.S. commercial space launch industry is really in a resurgence right now.
This amendment would build on the SBIR/STTR program by requiring that funds be directed for a proof of concept partnership pilot program.
