The Manhattan Project brought changes to the focus of interdisciplinary scientific research. Physics research was directed primarily to applied research that was funded by the military. Basic science also was fueled by military research. All areas of basic science saw a shift to partnering scientists with military planners.
While considerable scientific and theoretical work had begun as early as1939, the Army Corps of Engineers set up the Manhattan EngineerDistrict in August of 1942 and advanced Colonel Leslie R. Groves to therank of Brigadier General one month later and placed him in charge.Groves was responsible for establishing the Oak Ridge site and LosAlamos, but the scientific effort was led by J. Robert Oppenheimer.
The base of the Manhattan Project was a secret compound in the mountains called Los Alamos.
The atom bomb research and development were conducted under the Manhattan project.
J. Robert Oppenheimer was the lead physicist on the Manhattan Project, the United States' program to develop the atomic bomb during World War II. Oppenheimer played a crucial role in the project as the scientific director, overseeing the research and development of the bomb.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was a theoretical physicist and professor of physics. He also directed the scientific research for the Manhattan Project, which was the codename for the project in WWII that developed the atomic bomb.
J. Robert Oppenheimer was not paid for his work on the Manhattan Project. He served as the scientific director of the project without receiving any salary.
The Manhattan Project IS the codename. So no, there is not.
