Perceptions of EPRI: after the facts. [Evaluation of EPRI]
An ad hoc evaluation committee concluded that the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has been effective in meeting its stated goals. The review examined EPRI's mission, policies, advisory relationships, inter-organizational relationships, contracting policies, and technical program results. Assurance of an adequate industrial base for any new technological development is determined to be a basic concern in the selection of EPRI projects and in setting priorities. EPRI was also advised to seek a higher level of DOE or other funding for its demonstration programs when they have reached the appropriate stage. Other conclusions deal with internal procedures, delegation of funding authority, regular updating of goals and priorities, and a broadening of efforts into nonelectric research. (DCK)
