JSA Support For JLAB

JSA Initiatives Fund Program

Jefferson Science Associates, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SURA, has established the JSA Initiatives Fund Program to support projects, initiatives, and activities that further the scientific outreach, and promote the science, education and technology missions of Jefferson Lab in ways that complement its basic and applied research focus. Successful awards from the Initiatives Fund are made for those projects that benefit the Lab user community and that leverage commitments of others.

The IF Program includes fellowships, research grants, prizes, STEM initiatives, and stakeholder relations activities. The Program provides funds for the facilitation of and the attendance and participation at scientific meetings, conferences, and workshops. The Program is the source of seed funding for new and developing initiatives.
