Websites disseminating Research and Development (R&D) information

A list of DOI’s public websites disseminating research and development (R&D) information to the public, describing for each whether the website provides the public information about federally funded R&D activities and/or provides the results of Federal research

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)

1. http://www.usgs.gov/ is the main USGS public website that disseminates research and development (R&D) information to the public. Because of the large amount of research and development being done within USGS, the best single point of entry is the USGS main home page. Entering ‘research and development’ into the USGS search engine (http://search.usgs.gov/) will provide comprehensive results for links to USGS R&D. The links provide access to public information about past, present and future federally funded R&D activities and/or the results of Federal research and development efforts.
2. http://search.usgs.gov/results.html?cx=005083607223377578371%3Ab5ixbbpqpx0&cof=FORID%3A11&q=Research+and+Development&sa=Search#944 provides R&D information for USGS.
3. As a result of the large amount of research and development (R&D) being done and presented throughout all science programs and locations of the USGS, the best single points of entry for information about USGS R&D activities and results are the agencies' main home page (http://www.usgs.gov/) and individual “Science Area” websites (http://www.usgs.gov/programs.asp).
4. Entering ‘“research and development”’ into the USGS search engine (http://search.usgs.gov/) will provide comprehensive results for links to USGS R&D activities and results. The links provide access to public information about past, present and future federally funded R&D activities and/or the results of Federal research and development efforts.
