This book was released on 2004-12-22 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) supports basic research to advance fundamental knowledge in fields important to national defense. Over the past six years, however, several groups have raised concern about whether the nature of DOD-funded basic research is changing. The concerns include these: Funds are being spent for research that does not fall under DOD's definition of basic research; reporting requirements have become cumbersome and onerous; and basic research is handled differently by the three services. To explore these concerns, the Congress directed DOD to request a study from the National Research Council (NRC) about the nature of basic research now being funded by the Department. Specifically the NRC was to determine if the programs in the DOD basic research portfolio are consistent with the DOD definition of basic research and with the characteristics associated with fundamental research.

Download or read book Basic Research and the Department of Defense written by Harold Wooster and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following questions are discussed: (I) What is basic research; (II) Why is basic research a Good Thing for the Federal government to support; (III) Why is basic research a Good Thing for the Department of Defense to support; The difficulties of definitions of basic research are presented. Federal and industrial research budgets are compared. The talk leans heavily on the General Welfare clause of the Preamble to the Constitution of the US, with instances drawn from the research sponsored by AFOSR. The changing role of DoD in national research support is discussed. An addendum defends the Clearinghouse for Federal Scientific and Technical Information against an unwarranted criticism in a popular digest magazine. (Author).

Book excerpt: The June 2019 OMB Circular No. A-11 provides guidance on preparing the FY 2021 Budget and instructions on budget execution. Released in June 2019, it's printed in two volumes. This is Volume I. Your budget submission to OMB should build on the President's commitment to advance the vision of a Federal Government that spends taxpayer dollars more efficiently and effectively and to provide necessary services in support of key National priorities while reducing deficits. OMB looks forward to working closely with you in the coming months to develop a budget request that supports the President's vision. Most of the changes in this update are technical revisions and clarifications, and the policy requirements are largely unchanged. The summary of changes to the Circular highlights the changes made since last year. This Circular supersedes all previous versions. VOLUME I Part 1-General Information Part 2-Preparation and Submission of Budget Estimates Part 3-Selected Actions Following Transmittal of The Budget Part 4-Instructions on Budget Execution VOLUME II Part 5-Federal Credit Part 6-The Federal Performance Framework for Improving Program and Service Delivery Part7-Appendices Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these paperbacks as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound paperback, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com

This book was released on 1999 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD Basic Research Program is the cutting edge of the Defense Science and Technology Program. For more than 50 years, the Department of Defense has relied on its Basic Research Program to maintain U.S. military technological superiority. This objective has been realized primarily by DoD support for research into scientific and engineering areas of proven or potential importance to defense. DoD researchers also keep a watchful eye on research activities all over the world to prevent technological surprise. As the pace of technology quickens, it has become ever more important to maintain the world-class quality of the DoD research program, and to guide, coordinate, and integrate its many diverse activities. The Basic Research Plan (BRP) presents a comprehensive and reasonably complete overview of the whole DoD research program, presents the rationale for it, outlines its contents and organization, tabulates the funding (by program element as well as by discipline), and concludes with a few examples of its extraordinary accomplishments. The bulk of the funding of the DoD research program supports 12 disciplinary areas, managed by 10 Strategic Planning Groups (SPGs). (Two pairs of related disciplines are grouped together under one SPG.) Each discipline is briefly described. Interdisciplinary research is encouraged and is specifically addressed under three program titles: Strategic Research Areas (SRAs), Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI), and Government-Industry Cooperative University Research Program (GICUR). The program also supports infrastructure through education and training in science and engineering, and university instrumentation under the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), established in 1958, is an agency within the Department of Defense (DOD) responsible for catalyzing the development of technologies that maintain and advance the capabilities and technical superiority of the U.S. military. DARPA-funded research has made important science and technology contributions that have led to the development of both military and commercial technologies, such as precision guided missiles, stealth, the internet, and personal electronics. DARPA has a culture of risk-taking and tolerance for failure that has led experts, some Members of Congress, and others to view DARPA as a model for innovation both inside and outside of the federal government. The "DARPA model" is characterized by a flat organization that empowers its tenure-limited program managers with trust, autonomy, and the ability to take risks on innovative ideas. Congress has aided DARPA's efforts by granting the agency certain flexible acquisition and personnel hiring authorities, which have allowed DARPA to engage with people and entities that may have otherwise been reluctant to interact and do business with DOD. DARPA funding has remained relatively steady over time. In FY2017 constant dollars, DARPA funding has decreased by less than 1% from $3.35 billion in FY1996 ($2.27 billion in current dollars) to $3.32 billion in FY2019 ($3.4 billion in current dollars). Nearly all of DARPA's funding falls under the categories of basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development. Funding under these categories is referred to by DOD as the science and technology (S&T) budget. DOD's S&T budget is often singled out by analysts and others for additional scrutiny, as it is viewed as an investment in the foundational knowledge needed to develop future military systems. DARPA's share of Defense S&T funding has remained relatively steady at between 22% and 25% from FY2000 to FY2019. In FY2019, basic research accounts for 14% of DARPA funding, up from 3% in FY1996. However, the proportion of DARPA funding supporting basic research in FY2019 represents a 10% decline when compared to the proportion of DARPA funding supporting basic research in FY2018. Between FY1996 and FY2019, DARPA's share of DOD research, development, testing, and evaluation funding has declined from 6.4% in FY1996 to 3.6% in FY2019. Some Members of Congress, think tanks, and other experts have expressed concern that the U.S. military is losing its technological advantage and have called for increased innovation within DOD to address the perceived decline in U.S. technical dominance. In this context, Congress may consider several related issues, including the appropriate level of funding for DARPA; the effectiveness of the agency in transitioning technologies to the military services and the commercial sector; the role to be played by DARPA in any efforts by the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to increase innovation at DOD; and the mechanism by which DARPA integrates ethical, legal, and social considerations into its research and development projects.
