How does Science.gov support the administrations e-government initiatives?
Science.gov is a cross-agency gateway to one of the government’s most valuable resources – the R&D and subsequent information that it generates on behalf of the American people. This information, provided by 18 organizations within 14 major science agencies, is in key areas of concern such as health, defense, the environment, and science education. Science.gov enables users to search for information based on subject rather by the agency sponsoring it. In addition to providing searches of and links to information resources, some of the links from science.gov point to services that allow the user to perform certain activities such as ordering documents, calculating stream flows, etc. The site, a true collaborative effort, maximizes efficiency by allowing users to access one site instead of many to find government science information.
