Funding Process
Funding Procedure and Deadlines
Proposals may be submitted from any US university. On average, 60% of all approved IGPP minigrants awarded at Los Alamos originate from non-UC campuses. Typical grants are $25K-$45K, per annum, and approximately 40-50 grants are issued each year.
Procedure
Each proposal is required to have a University PI and a Laboratory PI. A University PI is any University scientist entitled by the University to be Principal Investigator on an extra-mural grant. A Laboratory PI is any Technical Staff Member (TSM). Visiting scientists, adjunct faculty and postdocs do not qualify as co-PI unless an exception is granted by the University.
Deadlines
The funding interval is October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006. PIs should note however, that the availability of funds is contingent upon the date the contract is awarded by the LANL Contracts Office, which may be up to several months after the start of the fiscal year for new proposals. The University of California (UC) waives overhead for this program. Non-UC institutions are encouraged to do the same. If this is not possible, some alternate in-kind contribution is expected. In many cases, proposals may be submitted as multi-year efforts. Renewals for the second or third year are determined based on progress during the previous year and timely delivery of progress reports.
Renewals depend significantly on demonstrating a strong collaborative element in the work performed.
