Office of the Director
Colleagues,
With this Call for Proposals (attached), I am initiating the FY2023 Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program, which constitutes one of the principal means to seed innovative science and new research directions.
An important factor in judging proposals will be their support of competencies aligned with the Laboratory and DOE's strategies. Multi-investigator and multi-divisional initiatives are particularly encouraged.
For the FY2023 cycle, we will pursue four funding tracks: Lab-wide Initiative, Multi-Area Topics, Area Priority, and Early Career Development proposals. Specific topics or areas of interest for each of the each of the four tracks are outlined in the attached.
Best regards,
Mike
