8.1: Investment Criteria

Objective investment criteria for federal R&D projects

Other Information:

The Administration is developing objective investment criteria for federal R&D projects. These criteria will also be used to assess the performance of research programs. A well directed R&D portfolio should demonstrate progress towards the portfolio’s strategic goals, without necessarily expecting success from each and every project. DOE and OMB are coordinating this effort with other White House offices and are soliciting input from other R&D agencies, experts in research management, and groups with an interest in the federal R&D portfolio to improve investment criteria and their implementation.
