	Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military.
		DARPA was responsible for funding development of many technologies which have had a major impact on the world, including computer networking (starting with the ARPANET, which eventually grew into the Internet), as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface.
		SPO is developing technologies to counter the emerging threat of underground facilities used for purposes ranging from command-and-control, to weapons storage and staging, to the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction.

	National Defense Research Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Defense Research Committee (NDRC) was an organization created "to coordinate, supervise, and conduct scientific research on the problems underlying the development, production, and use of mechanisms and devices of warfare" in the United States from June 27, 1940 until June 28, 1941.
		It was superseded by the Office of Scientific Research and Development in 1941, and reduced to merely an advisory organization until it was eventually dissolved in 1947.
		The NDRC was created under the aegis of the Council of National Defense, which had been created in 1916 to coordinate industry and resources for national security purposes, by an order of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on June 27, 1940.

	DLC: Idea of the Week: Research
		Basic scientific research is the mother's milk of innovation, which economists tell us is the most important factor fueling economic growth in the Information Age.
		But at a time when it should be rising, government support for non-defense research and development has been steadily dropping, from about 1 percent of gross domestic product in the 1960s to less than half of that number today.
		Since each dollar of federal basic research is estimated to leverage three dollars of private investment, this initiative could create a virtual explosion of new innovations, and arguably a big boost in productivity, real incomes, stable economic growth, and U.S. economic leadership.

		In a study funded by the U.S. Department of Defense's central research-and-development organization, UCF researchers are evaluating ways to send coded signals through miniature devices that vibrate.
		Initial research will test how well UCF students understand information relayed through vibrating sensors on their bodies compared with information they hear through speakers in the room.
		The UCF researchers will focus on whether coded vibrations are a more effective way to relay information, not on specific details such as what type of device should be used to send them or where the sensors should be placed on the soldiers' bodies, Gilson said.

		Basic research is focused primarily on long-term goals leading to new or improved technologies, hence must be conducted with a full understanding of needed technology improvements, on the one hand, and of promising research opportunities, on the other.
		Sometimes efforts initiated in the research laboratory produce results that can be transferred rapidly to either military or civilian applications, hence program managers and researchers are encouraged to make every effort to be aware of such applications; moreover, such awareness stimulates invention and innovation and helps open up fresh research areas.
		Defense research is conducted in the following disciplines (approximate percentages of total funding are shown in parentheses): Physics (9%), Chemistry (9%), Mathematics (7%), Computer Science (6%), Electronics (13%), Materials Science (8%), Mechanics (13%), Terrestrial Sciences (3%), Ocean Sciences (13%), Atmospheric and Space Sciences (6.0%), Biological Sciences (9%), Cognitive and Neural Science (4%).
