Ten researchers were given Joint Directed Research Development (JDRD) awards for 2017 as part of the Science Alliance—a Tennessee Center of Excellence managed by the Office of Research and Engagement. The JDRD program was conceived to provide faculty members an opportunity to work collaboratively with researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

JDRD awards are given to faculty across a wide range of disciplines and departments with the directive to collaborate with an ORNL Laboratory Directed Research Development (LDRD) project, an ORNL Seed Project, or a project that meets one of several strategic objectives. Awarded projects focus on a variety of research areas including advanced manufacturing, big data management, and climate change and adaptation.

The Science Alliance has issued a call for proposals for the FY17 JDRD program, with proposals due by 5 p.m. on December 5, 2016, with funding available on or around January 1, 2017.

The Science Alliance was formed to build and enhance relationships between University of Tennessee, Knoxville faculty and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) scientists. For the past 11 years the center has conducted the Jointly Directed Research and Development program (JDRD). The JDRD program places a priority on catalyzing new and deep collaborations between UT and ORNL, in new scientific or engineering areas, which otherwise would not be possible, typically in concert with ORNL laboratory directed R&D (LDRD) projects or ORNL seed projects.
