2,318 170

The research activities seek to develop such expanded uses on the basis of sound economics as well as technical breakthroughs. The proof of the benefits emerging as an end result from such research activity will be in the form of expanded new markets and the retention of markets. 1. Administration and contract supervision.-This aspect of the Office of Coal Research function deals with the operation, administration, and supervision of Office of Coal Research-sponsored contract research. It involves 116 the initial evaluations of proposals submitted by public and private organizations, and internal activities relating to monitoring of contract activity from a technical and administrative standpoint, contract audit activities, controls on Government property and equipment, consultant hire, processing of proposals from the time of initial receipt through the time of contract initiation, and subsequent details regarding interpretations, amendments, desk audit, and payment of vouchers.
