          Subject: Review of the National Center for Research
                    in Vocational Education (GAO/HRD-84-78)

          Your April 6, 1983, letter requested that we review certain
    activities of the National Center for Research in Vocational
    Education. These activities involved the Center's project
    selection, quality control, accountability for revenue and ex-
    penditures, hiring of professional staff and consultants, and
    the salaries and benefits paid to employees.

          Public Law 94-482 authorized the establishment of a Na-
    tional Center for Research in Vocational Education. The Center
    was established to conduct applied research on problems of na-
    tional significance in vocational education and promote leader-
    ship development for state and local leaders in vocational
    education through an advanced study center.

          In January 1978, through competitive procurement proce-
    dures, the U.S. Office of Education, now the Department of
    Education (ED), awarded a contract to the Ohio State University
    Research Foundation to operate the Center with annual options to
    renew the contract until January 1983. The Research Foundation
    is a nonprofit corporation under the direction of Ohio State
    University that acts as the university's contracting agent for
    the activities of the Center. Total funding received by the
    Research Foundation to operate the Center under this contract
    amounted to over $25 million during the contract's 5-year
