Choose the field of the advancement.
Start with the knowledge the team was trying to develop, then find the closest field in the list. For a manufacturer investigating a new control algorithm, the relevant advancement may be in software or control engineering rather than the product being manufactured.
CRA uses Appendix 1 codes for statistics and resource management. The list does not cover every eligible field, and selecting a code does not determine eligibility.
