Talk:Federally funded research and development center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Important to make the distinction between 'not-for-profit' and 'non-profit' institutions. For example, MITRE is a 'not-for-profit', meaning it makes a fee but this fee is used to finance R&D efforts, the products of which are then given to the US DoD for their use.
Nevertheless, having just checked the NSF page that this page clearly uses as its reference, NSF considers MITRE to be non-profit. Very odd.
