you may submit an optional Letter of Intent (LOI) outlining your
plans no later than March 2, and the lab will provide feedback
no later than March 17. In addition to the calendar, the LDRD
website provides templates and instructions for both proposals
and LOIs, as well as a budget spreadsheet template and a
Frequently Asked Questions section. The remainder of this note

Lab
Directed Research and Development at JLab enables the lab to
respond to timely scientific and technological opportunities
that also support DOE's research and development mission. This
program will be a critical tool for directing the lab's
forefront scientific research capabilities towards vital,
excellent and emerging scientific challenges. The program
provides the resources for JLab scientists to make rapid and
significant contributions to critical national science and
technology problems of mission relevance to JLab and the DOE.
LDRD also can advance the lab's core scientific capability, and
permits seeding and exploration of exciting new opportunities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
