About Government Agencies and Laboratories
Government agencies and government laboratories provide standards, regulations, business statistics, research, funding, and technical information. In the United States, examples include the FDA, FCC, OSHA, FTC, NSF, NASA, and USDA. Some government agencies and government laboratories help businesses use technology to develop new products. For example, the National Science Foundation (NSF) promotes the advancement of science by funding research about alternative energy. Spin-offs from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) research include developments in computer technology, health and medicine, and manufacturing technologies. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) helped to develop Internet protocols.
