Role of the multiprogram laboratories of the Department of Energy in context with federal energy R and D policy
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6147531
This report tries to delineate appropriate roles for the DOE multiprogram laboratories. The discussion is concerned mainly with the roles of the laboratories in general science and energy-related R and D areas. Section 2 briefly reviews the laboratories' history and the scope of their energy R and D programs. Section 3 describes recent changes in federal R and D policy, examines the causes of the changes, and traces the evolution of the laboratories in the policy context. In Section 4, the role of the multiprogram laboratories is divided into four generic types of activities. This section delineates the kinds of federally supported research that are likely to be performed more efficiently by the laboratories than by universities or industry. Several issues, important to the future effectiveness of the laboratories in meeting industry's R and D needs, are identified and discussed.
