U.G. Government Technology Information Locator

Abstract

The federal government obligates approximately $70 billion every year for research and development (R&D). There are 25 federal departments and agencies funding science and technology (S&T) programs; however, only 7 account for the vast majority (about 95 percent) of annual federal R&D authorizations for federally supported activities. This document profiles these seven agencies-the Department of Defense (DoD); the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); the National Areonautics and Space Administration (NASA); the Department of Energy (DOE); the National Science Foundation (NSF); the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA); and the Department of Commerce (DOC)-plus eight other government S&T resources. It is intended as a starter set to help users locate U.S. government technology information. For convenience, it uses Internet addresses, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers. The Appendix contains a list of Internet addresses for departments/agencies/programs called out in this document.
