For fiscal years 1990 through 1993, money available for these programs more than doubled, from about $243 to $512 million, while resources to administer and manage the programs grew by less than one-fourth, or from about $6 million to $7.3 million, adjusted for inflation. This report examines (1) how the Directorate sets priorities for its education programs, (2) how the Directorate evaluates the results of its programs and how these evaluations are used to set future priorities, and (3) whether the Directorate has obtained the resources it needs to run its programs effectively. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-95/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-95.htm GAO/RCED-94-95 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-95 Letter Report GAO/RCED-94-95; National Science Foundation: Better Use of Existing Resources Could Improve Program Administration; Internal controls Program evaluation Funds management Research and development contracts Scientific research Education program evaluation Educational grants Human resources utilization Productivity NSF Statewide Systematic Initiative Program NSF Teacher Enhancement Program NSF Instructional Materials Development Program NSF Informal Science Education Program NSF Young Scholars Program
