Synopsis
How federal planning meets geology: a practical look at budgeting for scientific programs
This book explains the Planning-Programming-Budgeting System (PPBS) and how it helps agencies allocate resources more effectively. It uses the United States Geological Survey as a case study to show how national objectives become actionable programs and budgets.
