DOD Nomenclature • Grants and Contracts (“6” Money) • Science and Technology (S & T) • Basic research (6.1) • Applied research (6.2) • Advanced technology development (6.3) • Other categories (6.4 to 6.7) • Engineering • Facility support • Contracts (and some grants) • More reporting (e.g., monthly) • Briefing meetings

  5. DOD Grants and Contracts • Also used to develop or augment in-house capabilities of DOD personnel or labs • Career military scientists • Co-authorship expectations DOD clearance of publications Expertise varies Last minute research requests Unexpected travel
