While primary investigators may have a number of sources for project funding, certain programs tend to “favor” certain sources. Below are common funding sources for the various ESD programs, with the proper protocol (derived primarily from the Berkeley Lab Regulations and Procedures Manual—RPM) for acknowledging them.
This work was supported by the Director, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Division of Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and Biosciences, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
This work was supported by the Director, Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research, Environmental Remediation Sciences Division, [then the specific research program (e.g., EMSP], if possible], of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
Yucca Mountain Work
This work was supported by the Director, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, U.S. Department of Energy, through Memorandum Purchase Order EA9013MC5X between Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC, and the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). The support is provided to Berkeley Lab through the U.S. Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
OST&I Work
This work was supported by the Director, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, Office of Science and Technology and International, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
This work was supported by the Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy, Office of Oil and Natural Gas, [then the specific suboffice/program/facility (e.g., NETL), if possible],of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
For the Geothermal group within this program, the core acknowledgment is as follows:
This work was supported by the Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Geothermal Technologies Program,[then the specific suboffice/program/facility, if possible], of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
While funding for this program is varied, two offices come up more than once:
This work was supported by the Assistant Secretary of the Office of Environmental Management, Office of Science and Technology, Environmental Management Science Program, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
This work was supported by the Director, Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research, Environmental Remediation Sciences Division, Natural and Accelerated Bioremediation Research (NABIR) Program, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
Funding for this program is also varied, but there are some common sources:
This work was supported by the Director, Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research, Climate Change Research Division, [then the specific suboffice providing the funding—e.g., Atmospheric and Radiation Measurements Program—if possible], of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
This work was supported by the Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy, Office of Sequestration, Hydrogen, and Clean Coal Fuels, [then the specific suboffice/program/facility, if possible], of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
As stated in the RPM, all Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) supported research must carry a standard credit line. A clear acknowledgment of LDRD funds would be as follows:
This work was supported by Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) funding from Berkeley Lab, provided by the Director, Office of Science, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
