  Office of Naval Research - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ONR, as it is frequently referred to, runs the Naval Research Lab (or NRL), the ONR Global Fleet/Forces division, the Naval Science and Technology Program, and the Commercial Technology Transition Office (CTTO).
The ONR was authorized by an Act of Congress, and subsequently approved by President Truman on August 1, 1946, with the stated mission of "planning, fostering, and encouraging scientific research in recognition of its paramount importance as related to the maintenance of future naval power and the preservation of national security."
ONR and Department of Health and Human Services share audit oversight of federal research funds awarded to educational institutions.

 Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
ONR funded ideas rather than programs in its earliest years; it was always interested in bold research initiatives that addressed fundamental problems particularly in physical oceanography and geochemistry.
ONR funding supported what Roger Revelle called the "Golden Age of Oceanography," the decades of the 1950's and 1960's when academic marine scientists began multi-program large-scale reconnaissance and systematic exploration of the oceans.
ONR funds supported collection and interpretation of deep sea soundings, and the intensive expeditionary work of H. William Menard, Robert L. Fisher, and William R. Riedel which vastly expanded knowledge of the geology of the Pacific seafloor and, later, in the Indian Ocean.

 Diversity in Action: ONR supports diverse techies in their work
ONR is a funding organization for the Navy.
At ONR they are responsible for evaluating research proposals in specific science or technology areas.
By executive order, ONR's goal is to spend five percent of its college and university research funds at schools in the HBCU/MI category, Junior notes.

 JITM
ONR also acts as a research funding intermediary (or "contract manager") for other Government agencies that do not or may not be able to manage RandD service procurements.
ONR also employed a database system for managing procurement actions, a second database system used by field offices for contract and grant administration, and a third database system outside of ONR under the control of the U.S. Dept. of Defense Comptroller for tracking ONR's expended funds.
However, ONR is sufficiently like other government research agencies in that understanding and redesigning its research procurement processes may lead to solutions that can be reused in these agencies, and thus contribute in some way to a more efficient federal government.

 SHG - McCarthy Dissertation: Chapter 5, The ONR Controversy
The genesis of the ONR controversy is difficult to pinpoint.
Although these questions are beyond the purview of this study, the knowledge that McDonald used his ONR funds for UFO research is pertinent background to the strategies and tactics employed by McDonald and Hughes in their skirmish with Klass.
The ONR pursued this course rather than have it appear to be questioning the word of the UA or challenging academic freedom.

 Philadelphia Experiment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
The pages of the book were interspersed with hand-written comments which alleged a knowledge of UFO's, their means of motion, the culture and ethos of the beings occupying these UFO's, described in pseudo-scientific and incoherent terms.
The officers and their personal belongings have left ONR many years ago, and ONR does not have a file copy of the annotated book.
ONR has never conducted any investigations on invisibility, either in 1943 or at any other time (ONR was established in 1946.) In view of present scientific knowledge, ONR scientists do not believe that such an experiment could be possible except in the realm of science fiction.

 (Re)Engineering Research Grants Management
In 1994, ONR awarded a research grant to the ATRIUM Laboratory to investigate the development of alternative process architectures for military procurement at the Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, in China Lake, CA.
We needed to educate ONR personnel in our motives and methods, and they needed to educate us on the generic and circumstantial variants of their work processes and information flow.
Expected ROI (return on investment) represents the anticipated payoff determined from qualitative or intuitive assessments by ONR personnel and the research team, under the assumption that in-house ONR staff or external contractors could be engaged and funded to implement the necessary redesigns, albeit in a cost-effective and timely manner.
