Current funding for the Gi21 program ended on September 30, 2008 and the information found in the program modules is up-to-date as of December 31, 2008. To facilitate use of the modules from now till the future continuation of the program, new documents can be posted from each module and sub-module main pages and the community discussions are open. However the main module pages and documents will not be updated. If you have any questions, please contact Kirsten Clark.
This subsection of the Science & Technology module includes resources with scientific and technological information on energy resources including fossil fuels, alternative/renewable, and nuclear energy.

Key Resources
Science Accelerator - "Science Accelerator is a portal searching searches vast scientific and technical resources, including R&D results, project descriptions, accomplishments, and more, via resources made available by OSTI. This database was developed by the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) within the Department of Energy (DOE) and is available as a free public service." http://www.scienceaccelerator.gov/
Energy Citations Database - The Energy Citations Database (ECD) "provides free access to over 2.3 million science research citations from 1948 through the present, with continued growth through regular updates. There are over 150,000 electronic documents, primarily from 1994 forward, available via the database. ECD includes scientific and technical research results in disciplines of interest to DOE such as chemistry, physics, materials, environmental science, geology, engineering, mathematics, climatology, oceanography, computer science and related disciplines. It includes bibliographic citations to report literature, conference papers, journal articles, books, dissertations, and patents." http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/
DOE Information Bridge - "The DOE Information Bridge provides free public access to full-text documents and bibliographic citations of Department of Energy (DOE) research report literature. Documents are primarily from 1994 forward and were produced by DOE, the DOE contractor community, and/or DOE grantees. Legacy documents are added as they become available in electronic format. The subject areas included are physics, chemistry, materials, biology, environmental sciences, energy technologies, engineering, computer and information science, renewable energy, and other topics of interest related to DOE's mission." http://www.osti.gov/bridge/
DOE Data Explorer (DDE) - DDE contains scientific research data, such as computer simulations, numeric data files, figures and plots, interactive maps, multimedia, and scientific images - generated in the course of DOE-sponsored research in various science disciplines. http://www.osti.gov/dataexplorer/
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) - Electronic Reading Room - "The mission of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is to enable the nation to safely use radioactive materials for beneficial civilian purposes while ensuring that people and the environment are protected. The NRC regulates commercial nuclear power plants and other uses of nuclear materials, such as in nuclear medicine, through licensing, inspection and enforcement of its requirements.. The Electronic Reading Room website contains information and the documents that are most pertinent to NRC regulatory activities. Many of the documents are in Basic References or Document Collections sections of the website. The rest are available either from our record retrieval system, ADAMS, or from our Public Document Room found on the website as well." http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html
National Technical Information Service (NTIS) - NTIS is an agency responsible for collecting for government-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business related since the 1950s. The NTIS database provides citation information for over 3 million publications from 1964 to the present. http://www.ntis.gov/search/index.aspx/
Science.gov - Search engine providing single search access to over 50 million pages of government science and reseach results. Many results are available in full text. Site is maintained by the Science.gov Alliance, a group of STI government agencies. http://science.gov
Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) - Provides centralized access to all of Department of Defense's scientific and technical information on DoD's multidisciplinary research, development, engineering, and studies programs. Some reports available in full text. http://www.dtic.mil/
Current Research Information System (CRIS) - "CRIS is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's documentation and reporting system for ongoing and recently completed research and education projects in agriculture, food and nutrition, and forestry. All projects included are conducted or sponsored by USDA." Some reports are available full text. http://cris.csrees.usda.gov/
NSCEP/NEPIS - EPA's Gateway to Free Digital and Paper Publications - Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) database providing access to tangible and electronic EPA reports from the 1970s. There are over 25,000 full text electronic reports and this collection continues to grow. The National Environmental Publications Internet Site (NEPIS) was incorporated into NSCEP in January 2007. NSCEP provides search and browse options. http://www.epa.gov/nscep/
EPA Alphabetical Listing of Projects and Programs - Provides alternate way to access Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) information by links to EPA projects and programs. http://www.epa.gov/epahome/abcpgram.htm
USGS Publications Warehouse - Primary UGSG database providing access to thousands of citations, full text reports, and thematic map USGS materials. Can also order some publications from the website. Coverage is from the late 1800s forward. http://infotrek.er.usgs.gov/pubs/
USGS Science Topics - Provides alternate way to search for USGS science programs and activities through a topical directory. Some reports available in full text. http://www.usgs.gov/science/
