formal proposals is April 30. If desired, 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 describes the LDRD program briefly.

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>
