Meeting Description
Agenda

The National Academies’ Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP) is convening a one-day meeting on Wednesday, May 26, 2004, to discuss the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART), Federal R&D Programs, and the Science and Engineering Research Community.

COSEPUP has been deeply involved over the last decade in issues related to the federal investment in science and technology and the evaluation of federal research programs. Its reports in these areas have focused on the need to ensure the quality, relevance, and leadership of U.S. scientific and engineering research through both the budget process and program evaluation. These issues are now also central to the implementation of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) with regard to federal research and development (R&D) programs.
