Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Jefferson Lab continues its commitment to innovative research with a call for proposals for funding in Fiscal Year 2021 (Oct. 2020 through Sept. 2021) under the Laboratory Directed Research & Development Program. The LDRD is an important element in Jefferson
Lab’s strategic plan and provides the opportunity for exploration of emerging scientific challenges both within and beyond our core mission. <br>
<br>
Creative, high-impact initiatives across a broad range of topics are of interest. Of particular interest this year are efforts in the following areas:
<ul>
<li>Addressing R&D issues relevant for new research directions using existing lab facilities.</li><li>Advancing high performance computing, including machine learning techniques, scientific data management, scientific visualization and heterogeneous architectures.</li><li>Development of technologies for i) medical and biological imaging and ii) the application of particle beams.</li><li>For FY2021, Quantum Information Science (including quantum computing and quantum sensing devices) is of special interest. Proposals for this topic will receive special attention and may be separated into an independent evaluation process with a targeted
budget.</li></ul>
If you are a Jefferson Science Associates employee with an exciting idea for exploring a cutting-edge theory or technology, LDRD may be a great opportunity for you to advance your idea. <br>
<br>
New projects must submit a Preliminary Proposal. The deadline for submitting your preliminary proposal to the<span> </span><a href="mailto:harwood@jlab.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="margin: 0px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(38, 171, 226); text-decoration: underline">program
manager</a> is April 30. The deadline for full proposals is May 31.<br>
<br>
