Credit Lines and Acknowledgment Statements

While principal 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, Section 5.02, Policy for Scientific and Technical Publications, C,1, Credit Line) for acknowledging them.

Department of Energy.

Collaborative BER Projects

[Note: the following is offered as a template; the bold, bracketed text below should be replaced with the specific funding source. When the work is only partially supported within BER, it is important to clearly state which portion of the research was funded under the BER award and what portion of the work was supported by each other sponsor who is acknowledged.  This distinction could, for example, be made by using the language below but further acknowledging, in subsequent sentences, who was supported by which sponsor (“E.R.J. was supported as part of…..”), or by indicating what aspect of the research (materials or processing used, or specific techniques) was supported by which sponsor (“XYZ studies were supported as part of….”).]

The work reported here was conducted as part of a collaboration between [non-BER entity(ies)] and [BER suboffice], supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research, through Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231 between Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the U. S. Department of Energy.

ASCEM-EM

This work reported here was conducted as part of the Advanced Simulation Capability for Environmental Management (ASCEM) program, in conjunction with the Office of Environmental Management, of the U.S. Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.

EBI Bioenergy MEHR

This work was supported by a subcontract from the University of California at Berkeley, Energy Biosciences Institute, to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory under U.S. Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. The Energy Biosciences Institute is funded by British Petroleum.

Energy Resources

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.

Geothermal Group

This work was supported by the Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Geothermal Technologies Program of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.

Geologic Carbon Sequestration

Funding for this program is also varied, but there are some common sources: 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.

Climate and Carbon Sciences

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.

Nuclear Energy and Waste

UFD funding should be acknowledged as follows:
