Because of recent concerns about some federal researchers possibly being restricted from disseminating their research on controversial topics, GAO determined (1) the policies that guide the dissemination of federal research at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); (2) how effectively these agencies have communicated their policies to researchers; and (3) the extent to which researchers have been restricted in disseminating their research. GAO conducted a survey of 1,811 researchers randomly selected at the three agencies, and had a 66 percent response rate. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-653/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-653.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-653/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-653.pdf GAO-07-653 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-653 Other Written Product GAO-07-653; Federal Research: Policies Guiding the Dissemination of Scientific Research from Selected Agencies Should Be Clarified and Better Communicated; Employee training Federal agencies Federal regulations Government information dissemination Information management Information resources management Mass media Policy evaluation Research and development Surveys Policies and procedures Volume 114 Page 2763A-154 114 Stat. 2763A-154 Public Law 106-554
