Assessment of educational research capabilities at selected minority institutions
A university, or consortia, to be engaged in DOE R and D programs, must be a source of high quality science, be able to mount multidisciplinary efforts, be dedicated to the agency mission, and be able to bring together unique outside resources if not available elsewhere. The DOE should establish a process through which the minority institutions can more fully participate in the funded research process and not be subjected to criticism which has any reasonable chance of being valid. The DOE should support efforts to establish opportunity for access to and participation in all of the DOE programs by minority colleges and universities so that they can become resources that can contribute to the solution of the nation's energy problems through: involvement in research and development programs of the DOE, and eventually in those of other agencies and industry; education and training of the quantities of personnel needed in energy, energy technology, energy-related issues and disciplines; planning, decision and preparation of quality interdisciplinary curricula; acquisition of the understanding of energy, energy technology, and energy-related issues and policy necessary for technology and information transfer to the local community, industry, academia, and governments; and support of exploratory research in unique projects and new ideas prior to the researcher's obtaining longer-term support elsewhere.
