handle is hein.gao/gaoqrn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States August 15, 2024 The Honorable Arati Prabhakar Director Office of Science and Technology Policy 1650 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20504 Priority Open Recommendations: Office of Science and Technology Policy Dear Director Prabhakar: The purpose of this letter is to provide an update on the overall status of the Office of Science and Technology Policy's (OSTP) implementation of GAO's recommendations and to call your continued personal attention to areas where open recommendations should be given high priority.' In November 2023, we reported that, on a government-wide basis, 75 percent of our recommendations made 4 years ago were implemented.2 As of July 2024, OSTP had eight open recommendations. Fully implementing these open recommendations could significantly improve OSTP's operations. Since our May 2023 letter, OSTP has implemented two of our seven previously identified priority open recommendations: * As of March 2024, OSTP provided information demonstrating it had implemented leading practices that enhance and sustain collaboration, consistent with what we outlined in our November 2019 report on public access to research results. By taking steps to fully implement the leading collaboration practices GAO has identified, OSTP and the subcommittee member agencies are better able to effectively marshal their collective efforts to support public access to research results. * In June 2024, the National Science and Technology Council, in coordination with OSTP, issued a progress report on the Future Advanced Computing Ecosystem strategic plan, summarizing agencies' investments and activities towards the national objectives outlined in 1Priority recommendations are those that GAO believes warrant priority attention from heads of key departments or agencies. They are highlighted because, upon implementation, they may significantly improve government operations, for example, by realizing large dollar savings; eliminating mismanagement, fraud, and abuse; or making progress toward addressing a high-risk or duplication issue. 2GAO did not make any recommendations to OSTP in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, a comparable four-year implementation rate cannot be determined for OSTP. GAO, Performance and Accountability Report: Fiscal Year 2023, GAO-24-900483 (Washington, D.C.: Nov. 15, 2023).
