By keeping the Laboratory at the forefront of science and technology, the LDRD Program enables us to meet our mission challenges, especially those of our ever-evolving national security mission. With its reputation for sponsoring innovative projects, the LDRD Program is also a major vehicle for attracting and retaining the best and the brightest technical staff and for establishing collaborations with universities, industry, and other scientific and research institutions. Our projects continue to win national recognition for excellence through prestigious awards, papers published in peer-reviewed journals, and patents granted. Safeguarding the nation from terrorist activity and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction will be an enduring mission of this Laboratory, for which LDRD will continue to play a vital role. In addition, many LDRD projects contribute to more than one mission area, leveraging the Laboratory's multidisciplinary team approach to science and technology. Many Laboratory programs trace their roots to research thrusts that began several years ago under LDRD sponsorship. Our ongoing investments in LDRD have reaped long-term rewards for the Laboratory and the nation. Each year, the number of deserving proposals far exceeds the funding available, making the selection a tough one indeed. These projects were selected through an extensive peer-review process to ensure the highest scientific quality and mission relevance. The LDRD budget of $91.5 million for fiscal year more » 2008 sponsored 176 projects. The accomplishments described in this annual report demonstrate the strong alignment of the LDRD portfolio with these missions and contribute to the Laboratory's success in meeting its goals.

The Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program, authorized by Congress in 1991 and administered by the Institutional Science and Technology Office at Lawrence Livermore, is our primary means for pursuing innovative, long-term, high-risk, and potentially high-payoff research that supports the full spectrum of national security interests encompassed by the missions of the Laboratory, the Department of Energy, and National Nuclear Security Administration. This report demonstrates an enduring theme of how partnerships help us drive the best outcomes and provide the maximum impact possible, while using our resources efficiently. Investment is only one part of the equation innovation is generated through collaborations that bring discovery and provide the “technical differentiation” and the return on investment we seek. Nearly at our congressionally authorized limit, SDRD has substantial resources to successfully address numerous issues. In 2018, we raised the investment level of SDRD for only the second time in the history of the program. Our partnerships with universities, industry, and more » our sister institutions within the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) build upon our core capabilities and allow us to create innovative solutions to support our mission requirements. Our Nevada enterprise, consisting of both our management and operating entity and our NNSA field office, is aggressively investing in SDRD and injecting innovation through strategic partnerships.

These elements drive the Site-Directed Research and Development (SDRD) Program and provide solutions to some of the most challenging problems our nation and our allies face. Sustained investment and ongoing core innovation are the keys to successful research and development programs. This report compiles multiple articles describing activities developed and performed under the Site-Directed Research and Development Program for the benefit the Nation during Fiscal Year 2018.
