      JSA Initiatives Fund Program - FY2019 Call for Proposals

Proposals Due July 16, 2018

http://www.jsallc.org/IF/CP19.html

/*Process*/
JSA is soliciting proposals for Initiatives Fund support for the FY2019 
program. An Initiatives Fund Evaluation Committee will review eligible 
proposals that meet the criteria. The Committee will include Programs 
Committee members, Lab representation, Users Group representation, and 
external consultants as needed to ensure a fair and objective process. 
In addition to evaluating new proposals, the Committee will reassess the 
value of the programs requesting renewed support to ensure their 
on-going relevance and continuation. The Committee will make its 
recommendations for award to the JSA owners, SURA and PAE Applied 
Technologies, which provide the funds for the Initiatives Fund Program. 
The owners have final approval of all awards from the Initiatives Fund. 
Proposers will be notified of the status of proposals following the 
owners' final decision.

/*Who Can Submit Proposals */
Members of the Jefferson Lab user community, Jefferson Lab researchers 
and staff, other individuals or groups who can make unique contributions 
to the Lab's research, development, education, and technology transfer 
missions. See current and past projects supported in the Initiatives 
Fund Program <http://www.jsallc.org/IF/IFProjects.html>.

/*Evaluation Criteria*/
Request for funds for scientific projects or those of a technical or R&D 
nature will generally not be considered. The Evaluation Committee will 
not provide original scientific or technical review of proposals. 
Evaluation of proposals will be based generally on the following criteria.

  * Intellectual and/or outreach merits and/or potential impact on the
    Lab user community
  * Alignment with and significance to the goals and missions of the Lab
  * Degree of leveraged support and/or matching resources from other
    fund sources, including Lab funds
      o Proposals for support for meetings, workshops, and conferences
        should align with the overall interests and mission of the Lab
        and should be matched by other source(s)
      o For scientific meeting support, proposers should discuss
        availability of matching funds with the Lab Deputy Director for
        Science (Robert McKeown, bmck at jlab.org) prior to proposal
        submission.
  * Extent to which other means (federal, state, regional, local, or
    private) to gain the proposed support were considered
  * Proposed evaluation plan to measure success

    administration of funds for approved projects.
  * Proposals that include leveraged support and/or matching resources
    should secure the authorization of the institutional authority
    providing the leveraged support and/or matching resources.

        salary-related expenses, or indirect expenses.
      o Provide sufficient detail to determine the categories of costs
        associated with the proposal.
      o Include information about the leveraged support and/or matching
        resources. Identify the source, type and amount of support from
