Abstract: In the late 1970s, state governments began adopting "high-tech" policies designed to promote economic development through support of research and technological innovation. This paper first examines the trend of increased activism of state government and the historical precedent of state action in science and technology. Based on field work in eight states, existing programs and policies are grouped. These programs and policy clusters are examined to determine whether they represent new state policy roles. A prognosis of the evolution of this policy field is made and areas in need of further research are identified.
