Operation of an LLNL institute: Information on how to establish a collaborative research program between an LLNL institute and UC campuses

摘要

This document describes the administrative operations of an LLNL institute with strong collaborative ties to the university community. The collaborative research program is unique to an institute and was initiated in 1983 at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP). Over the years, many operational changes have taken place to reflect trends and interpretations of DOE and Laboratory rules. Since formal collaborative research programs are not common at LLNL, more details about this operation are discussed. This document is intended to be used as a general reference only since details will vary from one institute to another. Progress is also reported on research on the cosmic quarks-hadron transition and primordial nucleosynthesis. (ERA citation 17:017309)
