Program Overview
The Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program is the premier source of internally directed R&D funding at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Guided by the missions of the U.S. Department of Energy, the LDRD Program invests in high-risk, potentially high-payoff projects at the discretion of the Laboratory Director. The strategic investments of the LDRD Program help position the Laboratory to anticipate and prepare for emerging national security challenges.
Vision
The LDRD Program is the foundation for the long-term scientific and technological vitality of LANL.
Mission
- Address scientific and engineering problems germane to the missions of the organization;
- Develop novel scientific approaches and instrumentation that create fundamentally new capabilities applicable to mission issues; and
- Sustain a scientific and engineering staff with state of the art skills necessary for the long-term execution of LANL missions.
