In a sea change for scientific publishing, a project led by Berkeley Lab, in partnership with other leading institutions, has paved the way for researchers who change their names to retain recognition of their previously published work.  The first-of-its-kind initiative launched this summer with all 17 national labs on board and 21 prominent publishing organizations, […]

The Lab Innovation Networking Center (LINC), established in 2020, is a collaboration initiative of four powerhouse DOE national laboratories in the Bay Area: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories.  LINC’s goal: to accelerate industry connections and collaborations with the labs and to help improve products, […]

Like many organizations, the DOE has a program to develop leaders. The Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program (OSELP) is the premier leadership development program of the DOE’s National Laboratory Directors’ Council (NLDC). Created by the NLDC in 2016, the program exposes emerging DOE leaders to the breadth, diversity, and complexity of the national labs […]

DOE is now accepting proposals for the Fiscal Year 2022 Office of Science Early Career Research Program (ECRP). This highly prestigious program supports early career researchers at DOE national laboratories with up to $2.5 million over five years to pursue their research. To be eligible for the competition at the Lab, a researcher must be […]

For the last few decades, society has enjoyed exponential gains in semiconductor performance, known as Moore’s Law. But this acceleration in computing power may be coming to an end, and further significant progress in semiconductor innovation requires fundamental research. The DOE has recognized that it is time to redesign the innovation process for the microelectronics […]

This last July, three Lab scientists rubbed virtual elbows with Nobel Laureates from around the world at this year’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Lindsay Bassman (CSA), Marlene Turner (PSA), and Michael Whitaker (EESA), participated in the event from June 27 to July 2, as part of a UC program. They came away with new knowledge […]

  When our work “with campus” is mentioned, most people think about our strong partnership with the University of California, Berkeley. Our relationship with UC Berkeley is extensive and deep, benefiting greatly from the campus’’s geographic proximity to the Lab and its role in the Lab’s founding and research over our 90 year history. It’s […]

NIH has updated its funding application and RPPR progress report forms and instructions to provide full transparency and disclosure of all research activities, foreign and domestic. These requirements apply to all funding applications and RPPRs due on or after May 25, 2021. Starting January 2022, applications and reports that do not meet these requirements will […]
