Abstract |
The FY 1980 Federal Inventory contains information on 3603 federally funded energy-related environmental, health, and safety research projects. The Inventory is published in two volumes: Volume I, an executive summary and overview of the data; and Volume II, project listings, summaries, and indexes. Project information for the FY 1980 Inventory was collected from federal agencies using a questionnaire, that is a revision of the FY 1979 questionnaire format, designed to aid the respondent and to provide a more accurate and meaningful expression of project data. Federal offices submitting project data were: Council on Environmental Quality; Department of Agriculture; Department of Commerce; Department of Defense; Department of Energy; Department of Health and Human Services; Department of Housing and Urban Development; Department of the Interior; Environmental Protection Agency; National Aeronautics and Space Administration; National Science Foundation; Nuclear Regulatory Commission; Office of Technology Assessment; and, Tennessee Valley Authority. In addition to providing an overview of federally funded energy-related environmental, health, and safety research, the Inventory also indicates research sponsored by various federal agencies and the amount of funding provided by each in various research categories. The format and indexes employed in the Inventory allow for efficient access to information compiled. Appendix A provides directions for user access to the Federal Inventory Data Base. Appendix B is a sample of the questionnaire used. Appendix C provides a complete list of responding and funding agency abbreviations. (ERA citation 08:002387) |
