Dear Colleagues,



Attached please find a *draft* of the Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for the
2018 UC National Laboratory Fees Research Program (LFRP). The LFRP sponsors
innovative research, fosters new collaborations between UC faculty and
national laboratory scientists, and provides unique training for UC
students and postdoctoral fellows. This competition cycle, the LFRP is
offering two targeted funding opportunities:



1.       The UC Multicampus-National Laboratory Collaborative Research and
Training award (UC-NL CRT) requires a minimum of 4 campuses and either LANL
or LLNL to collaborate on research in one of three targeted areas. Awards
for up to 3 years are available and the lead/submitting PI must be a UC
PI. The target areas are:

a.       Climate science

b.       Cybersecurity

c.       National security through social sciences



2.       An In-Residence UC-NL Graduate Fellowship for UC students advanced
to candidacy to conduct dissertation research and obtain training at LANL
or LLNL. Fellowship term is a minimum of 2 years with an optional 3rd year
extension, and Fellows must spend at least 6 months of each year
in-residence at the national lab. Research topics must be approved by the
UC graduate advisor, and can be in any area for which the placement at the
national laboratory with joint UC-national lab research oversight is
appropriate.



Details for both funding opportunities are in the attached RFPs. Please
review the FAQs that will be incorporated in the final RFP, or contact us
after the final RFP is issued if you have a question regarding the programs
or application process.



You are welcome to circulate this RFP widely to UC faculty and graduate
students who may be interested. By providing this draft in advance of the
final RFP, we hope interested faculty and graduate students can begin to
explore collaborations or begin developing proposal ideas. *However, all
Letters of Intent and Proposals must conform to the final RFP, and it is
the responsibility of the PIs to check our website for program updates*:
http://ucop.edu/research-initiatives/programs/lab-fees/index.html



We anticipate issuing the final RFP  in late March, and will circulate it
widely at that time.



Thank you again for your interest in this funding opportunity.



With best wishes,



Chris Spitzer, Ph.D.
