[All_staff] Message from Hugh Montgomery: LDRD Poster Session, Sept. 29 Noon-1pm

[Pat Stroop]

Colleagues,

This year marks the fourth year of Jefferson Lab’s Laboratory Directed 
Research and Development (LDRD) program.As was done last year, the 
Principal Investigators on the projects active during the fiscal year 
that is drawing to a close will present posters summarizing their 
project and be available to discuss their work in the Atrium of CEBAF 
Center on Thursday, September 29^th from Noon to 1 PM.We will also use 
the occasion to announce (at about12:30) the LDRD projects that will be 
funded in FY2017.

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 three projects that have been underway this year are listed 
below.Do stop by and learn how these projects are helping the laboratory 
progress toward its plans for the future.

Broadly we are delighted with the progress that has been made by the 
projects funded through the LDRD program, and look forward with great 
interest to the evolution of their impact on the Lab and to similar 
impact from the new FY2017 projects that will be announced at the Poster 
Session.
