Texas A&M System, Los Alamos National Laboratory fund collaborative research

May 19, 2020

Twelve research projects have been chosen for funding as part of The Texas A&M University System National Laboratories Office’s multi-element program to increase engagement between researchers from the A&M System and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).

Researchers could apply for funding in two different categories: developmental fellowships and research projects.

Developmental fellowships are designed to formally initiate a research project between A&M System faculty and LANL researchers who have already identified a mutual interest. This is a one-year proposal submitted annually each fall.

Research projects are designed for A&M System researchers who have mature ties with LANL collaborators and have identified research topics suitable for a joint effort and joint funding from the A&M System and LANL. These are up to four-year awards, and proposals are accepted annually each fall.

The following funded proposals were selected after undergoing a review process that involved numerous technical experts from the A&M System and LANL.
