NRL Fact Book 1992-1993
Abstract
NRL is the Department of the Navy's corporate laboratory; it is under the command of the Chief of Naval Research (CNR). As the corporate laboratory of the Navy, NRL is an important component in the Office of Naval Research's effort to meet its scientific research responsibilities. For its basic research effort, the Laboratory receives guidance from the CNR that establishes the level of effort and trend direction. The Laboratory then develops a comprehensive research proposal package that is submitted to the CNR for consideration for Navy basic research support. The total Navy basic research program ultimately is evaluated by Congress. In addition to internal critical review and the evaluation by the CNR and others, the research at NRL is published in refereed journals and/or reported at national and international scientific conferences. There is an aggressive policy of scientific interaction whereby scientists from around the world visit NRL and are visited by NRL scientists. In this way, NRL research is subject not only to management review but also to peer evaluation. NRL has had a long and fruitful relationship with industry as a collaborator, contractor, and most recently in Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA). NRL values this linkage and intends for it to continue to develop. NRL is an important link in the Navy R&D chain. Through NRL, the Navy has direct ties with sources of fundamental ideas in industry and the academic community throughout the world and provides an effective coupling point to the R&D chain for the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
