The Research Opportunity Assessment and Development (ROAD) working group focuses on funding opportunity development across the Lab. The group, which is made up of senior managers involved in funding opportunity development, helps coordinate the Lab’s outreach efforts to sponsors and potential sponsors, improves development processes and collaboration, and assists in creating effective communication about these opportunities and about Lab development policies.
The ROAD working group meets monthly.
