2008 Annual Progress Report Laboratory Directed Research & Development at Los Alamos National Laboratory ; Innovation for Our Nation LA-UR-09-01881
Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2008. Presumed First Edition, First printing. DVD RW. One file, 2008 Annual Progress Review with 120,965 KB. Overview: An introduction to the LDRD Program at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), the program’s structure and strategic value, the LDRD portfolio management process, and highlights of outstanding accomplishments by LDRD researchers. Success Stories: A selection of FY08 success stories that illustrate the innovative, ground-breaking research funded by the LDRD program. The one-page articles feature LDRD researchers who are at the forefront of their fields in science and technology. Project Summaries: The project summaries are organized first by science and technology categories: Physics, Chemistry and Material Sciences, Environmental and Biological Sciences, Information Science and Technology, and Technology. Within each category, summaries are organized by LDRD component: Directed Research (DR) projects first, Exploratory Research (ER) second, and Postdoctoral Research and Development (PRD) projects last. Full final reports are included at the end of each section. Projects are listed in numerical order according to their project identification number. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with a large and complex mission. The DOE executes this mission to a large extent at its seventeen national laboratories, a group of institutions which were created and are supported by the Federal government to perform research and development (R&D) in areas of importance to the DOE and, where appropriate, to other Federal agencies. The national laboratories are performing R&D in support of DOE’s goals in catalyzing the transformation of the nation’s energy system, securing our leadership in clean energy, maintaining a vibrant scientific and engineering effort, and enhancing nuclear security through defense, nonproliferation, and environmental efforts. In recognition of the importance of the long-term health of these institutions, the U.S. Congress has authorized and encouraged them to devote a relatively small portion of their research effort to creative and innovative work that serves to maintain their vitality in science and technology (S&T) disciplines relevant to DOE and national security missions. Since 1991, this effort has formally been called Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD). Condition: Very good.
