Federal inventory of energy related biomedical and environmental research for FY 1974 and FY 1975. Volume I
The Federal agencies considered in the analysis reported approximately $269 million in energy-related biomedical and environmental research in FY 1975. The total national funding of biomedical and environmental research in support of energy technology development in FY 1975 may have exceeded $300 million. Comparing the FY 1975 biomedical and environmental research funding with that of FY 1974 shows a 100 per cent increase in expenditure: FY 1975 funding was $269 million compared with $134 million in FY 1974. A significant fraction of this increase (58 per cent) was due to the $78.5 million energy supplement. Of this supplement, $53.0 million was in EPA ''pass through'' allocations and the remainder was in direct allocations to ERDA/AEC and NSF. In the various research categories, the most pronounced increase was in Integrated Assessment, increasing from $5.4 million in FY 1974 to $31.7 million in FY 1975. This greatly increased funding was applied to all energy technologies except nuclear which received only a small increase in funding. ERDA/Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research expenditures in FY 1975 accounted for 48 per cent of the total reported funding; consequently, the ERDA distribution of these funds in the research categories and by energy technologies has a profound effect on the national picture. In the various research categories, 42 per cent of reported Federal funding was in Health Effects. (auth)
