handle is hein.gao/gaobaclby0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United States GAkO) General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-270919 February 29, 1996 The Honorable John R. Kasich Chairman, Committee on the Budget House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: As requested, this report provides information on all federal research and development (R&D) laboratories operated by federal agencies or contractors. Specifically, you asked us to identify the name and location of each laboratory campus, its research field or mission, its estimated fiscal year 1995 operating budget, and the name and location of any satellite R&D facilities. We also asked federal agencies to identify any R&D laboratories that they have closed since the beginning of fiscal year 1996. In summary, 17 federal departments and independent agencies identified 515 federal R&D laboratories that spent a total of $26.6 billion of an estimated $69.4 billion that federal agencies obligated for R&D in fiscal year 1995.' Each laboratory has a specific mission or R&D program designed to support the parent agency's overall mission. In fiscal year 1995, the operating budgets of (1) 361 laboratories were less than $10 million, (2) 101 laboratories were at least $10 million but less than $100 million, and (3) 53 laboratories were at least $100 million. In addition, 65 federal R&D laboratories have a total of 221 satellite facilities. Overall, the Department of Agriculture's 185 R&D laboratories were the most reported by an agency. However, these laboratories were among the smallest in size, with a median operating budget of $2.1 million in fiscal year 1995. Laboratories in the Departments of Defense, Energy, and Health and Human Services, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, accounted 'Federal agencies also support R&D performed by businesses, universities, and other organizations, primarily through contracts and grants.
