<p class="MsoPlainText"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif"">This year marks the third year
of Jefferson Lab’s Laboratory Directed Research and
Development (LDRD) program. It also marks the completion of
the five of the six projects that have been funded to date by
LDRD, including three projects that initiated the program in
FY2014 and two additional projects begun in FY2015. We are
marking this milestone by having a Poster Session in the
Atrium of CEBAF Center on Friday, October 2<sup>nd</sup> from
noon to 1 PM. We will also use the occasion to announce (at
about12:30) the LDRD projects that will be funded for FY2016.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif"">LDRD aims to stimulate research
in new directions relevant to our Strategic Plan, and to
provide opportunities to recognize innovative staff. The
scale of the projects is modest, and the total funding for the
year has been set to be under $800,000. Each year we solicit
proposals and have a detailed peer review process to choose
the projects to be funded. The five projects that have been
completed are listed below. Do stop by and learn how these
projects are helping the laboratory progress toward its plans
for the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
