The Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program at Berkeley Lab continues to produce cutting edge research for the Department of Energy and the nation. For the FY22 cycle, the response to the LDRD Call for Proposals remained strong, with 160 total proposals submitted. This year, 99 LDRD projects are being funded at a total […]
Transition in DOE Office of High Energy Physics
Dear friends and colleagues, We’ve received notice from the DOE that Jim Siegrist will retire from his position as the DOE Office of Science Associate Director for High Energy Physics effective March 31. Dr. Harriet Kung, the Deputy Director for Science Programs, will be Acting Associate Director for HEP while DOE conducts a search for […]
Changes in DOE Funding Opportunity Application (FOA) Requirements
Are you submitting a proposal for an Early Career Research Program or another DOE funding opportunity? DOE requirements for filling out biosketches and current and pending support information have been significantly revised this year. New requirements include disclosure of a variety of potential conflicts of interest or commitment, including participation in foreign government-sponsored talent recruitment […]
A Global Collaboration to Discover the Secrets of the Universe: The Cosmic Microwave Background Stage 4 Project (CMB-S4)
Made up of the photons created in the Big Bang, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the oldest light in the Universe. Tiny fluctuations in the temperature and polarization of the CMB across the sky encode the composition and history of the Universe. Ever since its accidental discovery in 1964, scientists have been detecting and […]
Volunteer to support your community and build the next generation of STEM leaders
The end of the year is a great time to think about how to get involved in volunteer activities that help support the community and build the next generation of STEM leaders. The Government and Community Relations (GCR) and Workforce Development & Education departments at the Lab offer many opportunities to consider. The GCR team […]
The Way We Work: ESnet, EMP, and Phenix Teams Share their Experiences
As the Lab continues to work in a hybrid environment, many are wondering how other groups are collaborating and working together. In fact, some teams at the Lab have been virtual, remote, or hybrid for many years, because they have to be to meet the needs of the science. The Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), the […]
When Security Agency Funding Complements Core DOE Research at the Lab
Many at the Lab are aware of the opportunities offered by the national security-related agencies, which include the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), DOE’s NNSA, and the intelligence community. Funding offered by these agencies often complements funding from other, traditional sources, advancing core research programs at the Lab. John Valentine, head […]
Reminders from the Intellectual Property Office and Strategic Partnerships Office
Reminders from the Intellectual Property Office Invention and software disclosures. For IPO to have sufficient time to evaluate invention disclosures for commercial potential and patenting purposes, to fully assess software disclosures and clear such software with DOE for general release and licensing, investigators must disclose their inventions at least two months prior to the date […]
Inclusion in STEM: Lab leads transgender-inclusive name change initiative
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, […]
Presenting the Bay Area National Lab’s Semiconductor Capabilities through LINC
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, […]
