NLO Grant Process
The NLO is here to guide you through the whole proposal and contracting process. See the process details here, along with tips on what to consider when proposing research topics for funding.
Collaborative Research with Los Alamos National Laboratory
The Texas A&M University System National Laboratories Office in conjunction with Los Alamos National Laboratory has developed a multi-element program to help researchers foster collaborative ties in order to execute collaborative research projects and formalize long-term relationships where appropriate.
Joint Appointments
Did you know that faculty and researchers could have joint appointment contracts to work at either the approved Texas A&M University System department or the national lab? This title allows for visitation rights, share of resources, aid in security issues, student committee work and more!
User Facilities
These facilities are located at the National Laboratories and are available to researchers regardless of existing research partnerships. We encourage this opportunity to further research endeavors where facilities are not internally available. Links to facility applications are included.
Master Agreements
Few universities have master agreements with U.S. Department of Energy national labs. Those held by The Texas A&M University System is acknowledgement of a trusted relationship with the labs and recognition that the Texas A&M System can perform at the appropriate level. These master agreements also provide a pipeline that transcends one-on-one relationships.
Texas A&M System master agreements as of December 2020 are:
- Los Alamos National Laboratory/Triad National Security, LLC
- Pantex Plant/Y‑12 National Security Complex/Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC
- Idaho National Laboratory/Battelle Energy Alliance LLC
