STAATS COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE NATIONAL GRADUATE UNIVERSITY'S TWENTY-SECOND INSTITUTE ON FEDERAL FUNDING SHOREHAM AMERICANA HOTEL, WASHINGTON, D. C. OCTOBER 7, 1980 LOVERSIGHT OF FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT/ At the Nineteenth Institute on Federal Funding, in April 1979, I discussed the subject Federal Research Grants: Maintaining Pub- lic Accountability Without Inhibiting Creative Research. I wel- come the opportunity today to present a sequel to that address. Last year I spoke to the question of how the Government can assure accountability over its funds while giving university researchers the freedom needed to work creatively. This year, I would like to turn from accountability in the management of individual research programs to the broader question of how the Government can best support the long-term development of a sound research and develop- ment base in this country. I will begin by explaining the concept and meaning of over- sight and then focus on how this applies to federally sponsored research and development, including the process and tools involved at the highest levels of the Federal Government. Although I will emphasize the congressional perspective, the same principles apply throughout the Government at all levels of management. Grantees
