Description

Federal agencies sponsor 40 federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) for R&D tasks that are integral to their missions. The Depts. of Energy (DOE) and Defense (DOD) and and the National Science foundation (NSF) sponsor the largest number of FFRDCs -- 16, 10, and 4 centers, respectively. Federal agencies sponsor FFRDCs by contracting with nonprofit, university-affiliated, or private industry operators. Federal statute and regulations provide for reimbursements for compensation for FFRDC contractor employees and require that sponsoring agencies evaluate the use and need for their FFRDCs. This report (1) describes funding for FFRDCs sponsored by DOE, DOD, and NSF for FY 2008 through 2012; (2) examines compensation for FFRDC employees and these agencies' processes for review of compensation; and (3) determines how these agencies assess FFRDC performance. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
