  Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 169 
inventors to be inducted as the 2022 Fellows of the National Academy of 
Inventors (NAI). An induction ceremony will take place this June in 
Washington D.C. to celebrate these inventors and their incredible 
accomplishments, presided over by Undersecretary of Commerce and 
Director of the United State Patent and Trademark Office, Kathi Vidal, 
and President of NAI, Dr. Paul R. Sanberg. To be named as a Fellow, 
these individuals were nominated by their peers and underwent a review 
process by the NAI Selection Committee which ultimately deemed their 
innovations as making significant impact on quality of life, economic 
development and the welfare of society.
  Collectively, this year's NAI Fellows hold over 5,000 patents. This 
remarkable group includes individuals from 110 research universities 
and non-profit research institutes from across the United States and 
the world. Today, the NAI maintains a strong membership of 1,736 
Fellows; it is composed of more than 200 senior leaders of research 
universities and nonprofit research institutes, over 650 members of the 
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 49 inductees 
of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, 63 recipients of the U.S. 
National Medal of Technology and Innovation and U.S. National Medal of 
Science, 49 Nobel Laureates, 491 AAAS Fellows, 366 IEEE Fellows, and 
265 Fellows of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, among other 
awards and distinctions.
  Founded by Dr. Paul R. Sanberg at the University of South Florida in 
2010, the NAI's mission is to recognize and encourage inventors with 
patents issued from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, enhance the 
visibility of academic technology and innovation, encourage the 
disclosure of intellectual property, educate and mentor innovative 
students and translate the inventions of its members to benefit 
society.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my neighbors in Tampa Bay and the citizens 
of Florida, I am proud to honor the 2022 Fellows of the National 
Academy of Inventors on this outstanding achievement. We are incredibly 
grateful to innovators for their contributions to society and its 
constant revolutionization through their inventions. As the following 
169 inventors are inducted into the NAI's growing community, may this 
encourage future generations to strive toward this achievement and to 
continue the spirit of discovery and innovation.
