CSCANS is providing oversight to the study, Science, Security, and Prosperity in a Changing World.  The study will review the national security-related policies and regulations that govern the conduct of science and technology (S&T), including classification, export control and non-immigrant visa policies.  The goal of the study is to find ways to ensure both our national security and the health and prosperity of our nation’s S&T research and innovation.
