The Administrator shall enter into an arrangement with the National Academies for a study to benchmark the position of the United States in civil aeronautics research compared to the rest of the world. The study shall— seek to define metrics by which relative leadership in civil aeronautics research can be determined; ascertain how the United States compares to other countries in the field of civil aeronautics research and any relevant trends; and provide recommendations on what can be done to regain or retain global leadership, including— identifying research areas where United States expertise has been or is at risk of being overtaken; defining appropriate roles for the Administration; identifying public-private partnerships that could be formed; and estimating the impact on the Administration’s budget should such recommendations be implemented.
Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall provide the results of the study to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate.
