Management and funding aspects of three nonnuclear
energy research, development, and demontzraticn subprograms
under the Energy Research and Development Administration were
examined. The three subprograms were- photovcltaic energy of the
solar energy program; direct combustion of the coal program; and
hydrothermal technology application of the geothermal energy
developzent program. Findings/Conclusions: The extent to which
rsearch, development, and demonstration funds were used for
i&nagement suppo' t services among the three subprograus varied.
The amounts used for planning and managing were: $1.8 nm,.lion
(5.3%) for solar photovoltaic energy; $5.4 million (9%) for coai
direct combustion; and $0.2 million (1.1%) for hydrothermal
technology applications. The management support services
included: planning subprograL activities, reviewing and
evaluating research proposals, and contract and administrative
support. Amounts of research, development, and deonstration
funds used for planning and management services were not
disclosed in the agency's budget justification documents or
accounting records. Reccmmendations: ERDA should separately
identify in the budget and accounting records each subprogram's
research, development, and demonstration funds used for
management support services and make the amount of such funds
visible in the agency's annual budget iubnlssicn to the
Congrp.ss. (RRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaabsv0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
