Follow Up Questions

Who or what is "DOW" in this context — is it the same as the War Department or a separate entity?Expand

In the war.gov release “DOW” appears to be used as shorthand for the sponsoring government defense office, but ATDM is actually funded and run under Department of Defense/Navy authorities (via the Industrial Base Analysis & Sustainment (IBAS) initiative). In other words, the program is funded through DoD/Navy channels and administered by the Institute for Advanced Learning & Research (IALR) — not the private Dow Chemical company.
