Responsibility for and Financing of Research and Development, Testing, and Demonstration

摘要

Our group was tasked with identifying responsibility for research and development (R&D) testing, and demonstration programs, and also identifying financing sources for R&D of new technology. We came up with three recommendations. The first was to increase research support at the federal level. I am preaching to the choir here to a certain extent. The second was to encourage industrial R&D, partnering, and teamwork. The third was to envourage R&D focusing on beneficial uses.
