Abstract:

This provides additional factual data that supplements our recent report' on the national defense role of Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC). Our March 7, 1988, report addressed concerns about the nature and amount of work being done by these organizations. Your staffs asked us to compile official statements of mission, purpose, and general scope of effort of the 12 FFRDCs we discussed in our earlier report since this information was not available in a single source document. We are also providing information on how the Department of Defense (DOD)and the Department of Energy (DOE) oversee the operations of FFRDCs and how work is placed at the FFRDCs they sponsor.
