OSTI ID:281116
National laboratories are sometimes defined as all government related laboratories which runs into the hundreds. However, the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE) and National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) laboratories dominate the federal research, development, testing and evaluation establishment. Funding data for these major research establishments are provided. Each of these agencies has conducted a review of its own laboratories to rate their effectiveness and comparative advantage in responding to five areas of national need. National need was defined as: fundamental science, national security, technology development for industrial competitiveness, environmental protection and clean-up, and space exploration and aeronautics. The author examines the rationales and justification set forth by the various laboratory complexes for their continued existence.
