Summary of awards in energy-related general research: fiscal year 1975

Technical Report · Thu Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1976

OSTI ID:7367112

Basic research, rather than specific technological solutions, was funded from a list of 44 phenomena-oriented categories, from Aerosols to Turbulence. One fourth ($26.5 million) of total 1974 energy-related basic research funds was allocated for these grants. Although total funding money in 1975 was less than in 1974, substantial increases in increments covered new investigations. Large increases were made in grants for Homogeneous Catalysis and for Fabrications and Inspection of Materials Forming. Decreases occurred in these areas: Instrumentation, Radiation Effects, Statistics and Probability, Systematic and Evolutionary Biology, and System Theory and Optimization. The ERG (Energy Related General Research) grants are intended to encourage basic research compatible with national priorities. Scientists can respond to project-related goals and still do fundamental work in their specialties. A four page appendix lists energy-related workshops held in 1975. A 237 page appendix lists ERG grants by principal investigator, institution, title, and award in thousands of dollars. (DCK)
