DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Financial Assistance for Clark Atlanta University

AGENCY: Department of Energy, Albuquerque Operations Office.

ACTION: Notice of Financial Assistance Award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Albuquerque Operations Office (AL), pursuant to 10 CFR 
600.14(f), will award a grant based on an unsolicited proposal to Clark 
Atlanta University, 223 James P. Brawley Drive, SW, Atlanta, GA 30314.

DATES: Award will be effective September 20, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Address written comments to the 
attention of Erwin E. Fragua, Department of Energy, Albuquerque 
Operations Office, P.O. Box 5400, Albuquerque, NM 87185-5400, (505) 
845-6442 or fax to (505) 845-4004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of project is ``Analysis of Economic 
Success of Applied Energy R&D and Applied Energy R&D Case History''. 
The purpose of this study is to produce two special analyses of 
emerging science and technology issues regarding the overall 
effectiveness of the agency's research and development programs. The 
DOE has invested extensively in R&D covering a wide range of energy 
sources and end-use technologies. The U.S. public is entitled to a 
concise assessment of net benefits that have accrued from these 
investments. While individual success stories abound, there has not 
been a systematic effort to analyze the overall net impact of DOE's R&D 
activities on the economy. A cost/benefit approach will be used to 
analyze the DOE's basic and applied R&D programs, to identify and 
quantify commercial successes arising from DOE sponsored R&D programs. 
The study also prepares a case assessment of a successful DOE R&D 
program over the history of the program; identifying costs, economic 
and technical successes and estimating return on investment.
    The probability of achieving this objective is significant 
considering the experienced background of the project director, Dr. 
Charlie Carter, and the facilities of the grantee are adequate for the 
purpose of achieving the stated objectives.
