May 18 Briefs Excerpts: 

Test of Public Address System Today at 5:30 p.m. 
Jefferson Lab will conduct the monthly test of its Public Address (PA) System – the live audible announcement feature – available through the lab’s Cisco phones. This monthly operational test of the system occurs at 5:30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month. No actions are required or expected from members of the lab community. For more information, see the posted memo: https://www.jlab.org/memo/jlab-test-public-address-system 

New Security Notices and Weapons Restrictions Reminder 
Jefferson Lab has installed revised legal notices at the entrances to Jefferson Lab Federal property. This includes the campus, Accelerator Site, and Central Material Storage Area. The security signs are larger; they are more easily read from the road; and the signs’ key features are highlighted by symbols. The new signs meet Department of Energy requirements and, like the old signs, will inform people of the use of recorded video and that vehicles and closed containers are subject to inspection. 

Jefferson Lab employees and visitors are reminded that DOE and JSA policy strictly prohibit weapons on the Jefferson Lab campus. This includes ammunition of any kind or quantity. Full compliance with this policy ensures we can maintain the open campus environment we all enjoy and benefit from. Questions about prohibited items or other security issues may be directed to Kris Burrows at x7548 or burrows at jlab.org. To view a graphic of the revised security signage, see the full memo online: https://www.jlab.org/memo/revised-security-signage-around-jefferson-lab

Reminder: Jefferson Lab Shipment Import and Export Requirements 
For any shipment being imported to Jefferson Lab, it is mandatory that the lab’s customs broker, Team Worldwide, be contacted by the vendors’ shipper to arrange all shipping from their facility to the lab (Team Worldwide contact information is listed below). Contacting Jefferson Lab’s customs broker will save time and facilitate movement of the property to Jefferson Lab faster and at less cost. Should a vendor not contact Team Worldwide, and additional costs are incurred due to delays for storage or lengthy stays in port, those costs will be deferred to the originator (vendor) who initiated the shipment. 

In addition, all lab shipments should be coordinated with Jefferson Lab Shipping and Receiving/Property to ensure all shipping and property requirements are met. Overseas shipments can be complicated based on the length of time a piece of property will be offsite, the cost of the item, and what the item is being used for or what work is being performed on the item. Jefferson Lab Shipping and Receiving/Property personnel can assist Jefferson Lab staff in complying with all shipment obligations and in coordinating with Team Worldwide to ensure a successful delivery overseas. If you will need to ship an item overseas, contact Jefferson Lab Shipping and Receiving/Property as soon as practicable to begin the process. 

If you have any questions about these requirements, contact Barbara Rice at x7238 or Christian Whalen at x5899.

Workshop: Strategies for Planning, Developing, and Writing Large Team Grants 
Karen Eck, Assistant Vice President for Research in the Office of Research at Old Dominion University, will address issues faced by researchers in transitioning from smaller group or individual grants to larger team grants, which offer unique challenges and are more complex to plan, develop and write. Learn about strategies for developing competitive partnership proposals and about project management essentials, such as starter templates, the elements of a successful narrative and "red team" reviews, as well as scheduling and task assignments for proposal planning. The workshop will take place Friday, May 20, 10 a.m.-noon in CEBAF Center room F224-225. No advance registration is required.
