§1223 — Title 30 Mineral Lands and Mining | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary decides when and how much money the institutes get each year and pays it after approving vouchers. Each institute must explain its plan for training mineral engineers and scientists with a suitable curriculum, adopt rules so federal money adds to (and, when possible, increases) other funding and does not replace it, and have an officer chosen by its governing body to receive and track all funds and send the Secretary an annual report by September 1 showing work done, project status, exact amounts received, and how the money was spent on forms the Secretary requires. The institutes are encouraged to work together and with other agencies and experts on mining and mineral problems. Appropriated money can pay the necessary costs of planning, coordinating, and doing that joint research.
