# University of California at Santa Cruz: [http://uarc.ucsc.edu/ UARC] at NASA Ames Research Center
# University of Southern California: Institute for Creative Technologies
# Georgia Institute of Technology: Georgia Tech Research Institute
# University of Maryland, College Park: Center for Advanced Study of Language
# Massachusetts Institute of Technology: [http://web.mit.edu/ISN/ Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies]
# University of Texas at Austin: [http://www.iat.utexas.edu/ Institute for Advanced Technology]

The first four laboratories have been conducting research and development for the United States Navy for the last sixty years. In the 1990s, the Navy committed a relationship to the four university laboratories by designating them as University Affiliated Research Centers.
In July of 2004, the Navy proposed the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa as another UARC. In response, the students of U.H. and the community protested with a six-day sit in at the campus administration building.
