Hi Chris,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> I think this could be an interesting LDRD. The first big questions you need to answer are:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Who will do the work? If it is primarily you, then you will need to ask for funding to pay for the fraction</div>
<div class="">of your salary for the time you expect to spend on it. You will also need to make sure your supervisor and</div>
<div class="">division head are OK with you working that much less on your regular “day job”. LDRD won’t fund things</div>
<div class="">that are considered part of your regular duties.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You may also ask for money to hire someone to work on this. You would them supervise them. Expect it</div>
<div class="">to take some time to hire them though so you’ll probably get 9 months at best during the first year. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Once you come up with a budget, you’ll need to get your Budget Analyst involved since they will add in all</div>
<div class="">of the overhead. The B.A. probably doesn’t need to be involved for the preliminary proposal since you’ll</div>
<div class="">have a month to get that done before the final proposal is due.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m happy to help where I can. Keep me in the loop on any meetings.</div>

Dear colleagues,<br class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<li class="">Addressing R&D issues relevant for new research directions using existing lab facilities.</li><li class="">Advancing high performance computing, including machine learning techniques, scientific data management, scientific visualization and heterogeneous architectures.</li><li class="">Development of technologies for i) medical and biological imaging and ii) the application of particle beams.</li><li class="">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 class="">
<br class="">
New projects must submit a Preliminary Proposal. The deadline for submitting your preliminary proposal to the<span class=""> </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;" class="">program
manager</a> is April 30. The deadline for full proposals is May 31.<br class="">
<br class="">
