The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is a U.S. federal office established by Congress to provide the President and the Executive Office of the President (EOP) with science, engineering, and technology advice on matters of national policy. OSTP’s Director oversees the development and execution of the Administration’s science and technology policy agenda, leads White House efforts in areas including artificial intelligence, quantum information sciences, and biotechnology, and chairs the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC).
OSTP also supports the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) with annual reviews and priority-setting for the federal research and development budget and evaluates the scale, quality, and effectiveness of federal science and technology efforts. On the interagency side, OSTP functions as a central coordinating and analytic authority—helping align federal scientific/technical work with presidential goals, and serving as a source of scientific and technical analysis for the President.
