<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s Friday evening, but I thought I’d share a few highlights from the LDRD talk that just ended. Later, the slides will be on the LDRD website, but for now, here’s my main takeaways:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">All LDRDs will be 2 years moving forward. No third year option. So plan on 2 years of work.<o:p></o:p></li><ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">Those of us in our 1<sup>st</sup> year of a plan right now do not need to do a pre-proposal, but our full proposal will be a 2 year proposal.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Postdocs will have 2 years of guaranteed coverage from LDRDs.<o:p></o:p></li><ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">This includes if they are hired up to 4 months late.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
</ol>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-1.5in;mso-text-indent-alt:-9.0pt;mso-list:l0 level3 lfo1">
<![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore"><span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span>i.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><![endif]>So if you get a postdoc in January, they’ll have LDRD funds for 2 full years starting January, not on the FY start.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="2" type="1">
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="2" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">They’ll be allowing us to post position PRIOR to the start of the fiscal year, so we can start recruiting earlier.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">They are working with HR to speed up the recruiting process.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
