Review the results of each funded task. Ensure that work unit summaries are submitted to the Defense Technical Information Center. Recommended target ceiling funding for the ILIR and IED programs is 5 percent of the total 6.1 budget of each DoD Component. ILIR and IED funds will not be used to make up deficiencies in other assigned programs. ILIR and IED funds are intended for in-house efforts and should not be used for outside contracts.
Exceptions are to be of modest magnitude and of exceptional content.
Moreover, they must be specifically justified in terms of exceptional content, or as being in direct support of primary in-house ILIR and IED projects, and must satisfy the criterion of enhancing the factors that contribute to the recruitment and retention of outstanding scientists and engineers by the laboratory. As target ceiling the purchases should not exceed 30 percent of the program funding. Normally no task should be supported by ILIR or IED funds for more than a 3-year period. This Instruction is effective immediately. Forward two copies of implementing documents to the Director, Defense Research and Engineering within 120 days.
