Los Alamos National Laboratory is pleased to report the progress of its Laboratory Directed Research & Development (LDRD) program. This synopsis includes an overview of the program as a whole, its basis in legislation, and its contributions to the Laboratory's science and technology base. The LDRD program follows a strategic guidance derived from the missions of the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Nuclear Security Administration, and the Laboratory. To execute that strategy, it creates a free market for ideas that draws upon the bottom-up creativity of the Laboratory's scientists and engineers. The combination of strategic guidance and free-market competition provides a continual stream of capabilities and solutions for the LDRD program to accomplish its missions. This report summarizes the progress of LDRD projects at LANL. The LDRD program is organized into three program components with distinct institutional objectives: Directed Research (DR), flagship investments in mission solutions; Exploratory Research (ER), projects that invest in people and skills; and Postdoctoral Research and Development (PRD), recruiting the brightest scientists and engineers. 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).…
