- The Naval Research Laboratory is not an appropriated activity. We are a Working Capital Fund activity, which means that all direct and indirect costs, including overhead, are recovered through sponsor-funded research projects. Funding for the Marine Meteorology Division, in particular, comes primarily from the Chief of Naval Research (CNR) , which includes funds for the internally competed NRL Base program; the Oceanographer of the Navy (N096); and the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR PMW-155) . Other projects are funded by DOD agencies such as the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) , the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren , and the High Performance Computing Modernization Program . Some funding is also provided by other government agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Energy, the Federal Aviation Administration, and joint agency programs such as the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation.
