Data were collected in a survey of Federal agencies that support energy and energy-related research and development (ER and D) activities of Federal intramural installations or Federal Funded Research and Development Centers. The data are based on the fiscal year 1975 budget and concern the actual year 1973 and estimated years for 1974 and 1975. The survey, therefore, reports for the period of time and does not include changes that may have resulted from subsequent budgets or the reorganization that occurred with the establishment of the Energy Research and Development Administration. Federal funds for intramural ER and D during 1973-75 supported 13 of the 14 energy program areas surveyed. Most of this support, over 65 percent, was concentrated in four areas--coal, oil, environmental and health effects, and conservation. The other areas in the survey include gas, oil shale, environmental control, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, solar, geothermal, system studies, and two programs designed to explore phenomena, processes, and techniques in physical, chemical, biological, environmental, and social sciences affecting energy to ensure the development of new basic knowledge.
