Book
·
OSTI ID:2283425
The history of the design and development of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the United States illustrates how the plans for a new institute can be realized and evolve over four decades. This history summarizes the process of planning and developing NREL as a new research institute to meet its mandated mission, including creating a research agenda and plans for R&D management, human resources, financial sustainability, and facilities. The NREL origin story, informed by the development of similar institutions around the world, also reveals generalized principles useful for decision makers across the globe who are designing their own research institute. These principles are described in this publication.
