Section 4 - 
Definition 
of STI | Existing | Change |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | STI consists of information products, in
any format or medium, derived from
scientific and technical studies, work,
or investigations that relate to 
research, development, demonstration,
and other specialized areas such as
environmental and health protection
and waste management.  Scientific and
Technical information products may be
Unclassified unlimited, sensitive
unclassified, export controlled, 
classified, or declassified.  DOE‐funded
STI originates primarily from research
and other activities performed by
contractors for management,
operation, or integration of
DOE‐owned/leased facilities, direct
DOE‐executed prime procurements,
DOE‐operated research activities, 
and financial assistance recipients,
In addition to DOE employees.   | Scientific and Technical
Information (STI) consists
of the experimental,
observational, and
analytical findings and
conclusions resulting from
research and development
activities, as well as other
relevant associated
information and data. 

DOE STI is the
body of scientific, 
technical, or associated
knowledge identified as
having value to
accomplish DOE's
missions and support the
advancement of science. |
