The U.S. Department of Energy R&D Project Summaries database is a searchable
database developed by the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information
(OSTI). The database provides access to summaries of ongoing or recently completed
projects performed by the DOE laboratories and research facilities. These projects
pertain to a variety of R&D disciplines,
such as Science, Fossil Energy, Environmental Management, and Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy. This application was developed by OSTI as a means for
the DOE to educate and inform the general public of its R&D activities.
The database includes projects that DOE sponsored through a variety of funding
mechanisms, including grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements. Public access
to DOE R&D Project Summaries is available in partnership with the Government
Printing Office (GPO) through GPO
Access.
R&D Project Summaries became available on the Web in June 1997 as a means for DOE to educate and
inform the general public of its R&D activities. In 2004 the site was redesigned and the application
was enhanced with advanced search features, allowing for
search by Principal Investigator and more.
Open access to DOE R&D Project Summaries supports the Energy Department's interest in ensuring
that scientific and technical information resulting from DOE's efforts is effectively managed for
the benefit of the scientific community, U. S. industry, educators, and the public. The development
of the database supports OSTI's mission to advance science and sustain technological creativity by
making R&D findings available and useful to DOE researchers and the American people.
