- Summary
- The research programs under the cognizance of the Office of Energy Research (OER) consist primarily of fundamental theoretical and experimental investigations designed to support the objectives of the Department of Energy (DOE) . These programs are directed toward discovery of natural laws and new knowledge, and to improved understanding of the physical sciences as related to the development, use, and control of energy. The ultimate goal is to develop a scientific underlay for the overall DOE effort and the fundamental principles of natural phenomena so that these phenomena may be understood and new principles formulated. The OER outlay activities comprise three major programs: High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Basic Energy Sciences which comprises five activities: nuclear sciences; materials sciences; chemical sciences; engineering, mathematical and geosciences; and advanced energy projects. These programs represent about 30 percent of the Nation's Federal support of basic research in the physical sciences. (RWR)
