135. lappuse - In an appropriate number of our National Laboratories, the defined mission should be reshaped to include a major focus on one or more of the chemistry areas crucial to energy technologies.
55. lappuse - National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958". DECLARATION OF POLICY AND PURPOSE SEC. 102. (a) The Congress hereby declares that it is the policy of the United States that activities in space should be devoted to peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind.
87. lappuse - In some sort of crude sense which no vulgarity, no humor, no over-statement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.
136. lappuse - But human needs are great, so we can ill afford to miss the relevant opportunities offered by chemistry. Recommendation 9 The Department of Agriculture should initiate a substantial competitive grants program in chemistry with the aim of increasing extramural support of fundamental research in chemistry relevant to agriculture and animal health to an approximate par with the Department's intramural program. Chemistry and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Mission The several initiatives...
135. lappuse - And, most important, the DOE research support to universities must be increased to engage the larger chemistry community in the accomplishment of the Department's mission. While the chemistry activity at the National Laboratories is being increased, university research programs in energyrelevant areas of chemistry should be raised to be commensurate with those in the National Laboratories.
135. lappuse - Laboratories, the defined mission should be reshaped to include a major focus on one or more of the chemistry areas crucial to energy technologies. (c) University research programs in energy-relevant areas of chemistry should be raised to be commensurate with those in the National Laboratories. (d) Incremental growth in these programs by a factor of about 2.5 will be needed to exploit the opportunities before them. For cost effectiveness, this growth should be uniformly spread over the next 5 years....
97. lappuse - ... whole, and is certainly a small amount when measured in terms of the invaluable returns that will be harvested in the form of increased knowledge and understanding in important areas of science. We fully concur with former House Science and Technology Committee Chairman Don Fuqua's recommendation that "Basic research, which comprises only .8% of the federal budget, could be increased substantially without reaching a point of diminishing returns.
135. lappuse - Recommendation 5 (a) NSF should begin a 3-year initiative to increase its support for chemistry by 25 percent per year for FY 1987, FY 1988. and FY 1989. (b) The added increments should be directed toward increasing grant size, ensuring encouragement of young investigators, enhancing the shared instrumentation program, and increasing the amount directed toward dedicated instrumentation. (c) NSF should build into its shared instrumentation program a...
