(c) WAWF has been designated as the Department of Defense (DoD) standard for electronic invoicing and payment. To facilitate this effort for universities and non-profit organizations with awards administered by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Regional Offices, DoD has established the ONR Electronic Payment System (PayWeb), https://onronline.onr.navy.mil/payweb/, as an initial entry point to WAWF.
