* The first two years only two reports and sets of recommendations are expected to be available. This is due to the lag time in hiring, initiating evaluation projects, and analyzing the results of such evaluations. The following year will yield a greater ratio of conclusions and recommendations to resources. This is particularly true when specific technological expertise is contracted to conduct specialized research reviews.
