A previous post provides information about the work of the National Academy of Sciences. Each year the National Academy Press provides an annotated text of the President's State of the Union with relevant reports produced by the national academies.

Here is the 2016 report. In President Obama's final State of the Union, he established high goals for the United States for STEM education, cancer research and cures, and climate change.  The National Academies Press uses resources from past scientific advancements and current steps toward achieving President Obama's envisioned future.
