Inclusion criteria
The goal of this template is to list "top-level" R&D agencies, that is, agencies whose primary mission is R&D, and are not part of a larger agency that is also primarily an R&D agency. This is why, for example, the
Naval Medical Research Center is listed, but its individual units (many of which have articles) are not, and why the
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, which is mostly non-R&D, is also not. This is also why the Naval Warfare Centers are listed and not the Naval Systems Commands.
