The government documents included in this book are comprised of
reports and testimonies from June 2018 to September 2018 on
research and development in the United States. The first report
examines research and development projects started from 2010
through 2017 on advanced fossil energy. For over 100 years, three
fossil fuel sources -- coal, oil and natural gas -- have made up at
least 80% of total US energy consumption. While fossil fuels are
associated with some negative environmental impacts a such as
carbon dioxide emissions, the predominance of coal, oil and natural
gas is likely to continue into the future. The second report
focuses on considerations for maintaining US competitiveness in
Quantum Computing, Synthetic Biology and other potentially
transformational research advances. Federal support in such areas
can accelerate innovation and drive technological advances and
promote US competitiveness in the global economy. The third and
final report focuses on additional actions needed to improve
licensing of patented laboratory inventions. The GAO was asked to
review agency practices for managing inventions developed at
federal labs, with a particular focus on patent licensing. This
report examines the challenges in licensing patents and steps take
to address and report them.
