The Albany Research Center, now part of National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), is a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory staffed by Federal employees located in Albany, Oregon. The laboratory specializes in life cycle research starting with the formulation, characterization, and/or melting of most metals, alloys, and ceramics; casting and fabrication, prototype development; and the recycle and remediation of waste streams associated with these processes. They routinely solve industrial processing problems by investigating melting, casting, fabrication, physical and chemical analysis and wear, corrosion and performance testing of materials through the use of state-of-the-art equipment and analytical techniques. The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is a science, technology, and energy laboratory owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). ...

Funded originally in 2002, we are one of the newer centers in the nationwide PRC program-- but we are growing rapidly.
The Nationwide PRC program is a network of academic centers, public health agencies, and community partners conducting applied research and practice in chronic disease prevention and control.
Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) since 1986, there are now 33 centers around the nation based in schools of public health or medicine.
United States Department of Energy National Laboratories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (762 words)
Most of the DOE national laboratories are actually federally funded research and development centers administered, managed, operated and staffed by private corporations and academic universities under contract to DOE.
Additional success was had at the University of Chicago in reactor research, and at other academic institutions spread across the country.
Each national laboratory would generally be centered around one or many expensive machines (such as particle accelerators or nuclear reactors).
