  9. Nuclear PhysicsFY 2015 President’s Request – By Function ~69% of the FY 2015 NP budget supports operations or construction of facilities The percentage devoted to major projects is almost 19% in FY 2015 FY 2015 President’s Request Total = $593.6M

  10. A Long Tradition of Partnership and Stewardship There has been a long tradition in Nuclear Science of effective partnership between the community and the agencies in charting compelling scientific visions for the future of nuclear science. Key factors: Informed scientific knowledge as the basis for recommendations Mutual respect among scientific sub-disciplines Commitment to the great good of nuclear science as a discipline Meticulously level playing field leading to respect for the process and its outcomes Appreciation for the wisdom of Ben Franklin

  11. Anticipated LRP Schedule • Charge delivered at 24 April NSAC Meeting • LRP Working Group formed in early June ~ 60 members • Some international members will soon be added. • Community organization this summer • DNP town meetings in the August/September • Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrinos, Neutrons and relevant Astrophysics • Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics • QCD Heavy Ion and QCD Hadron • Education and Innovation • Time for more in November- January • White papers by end of January • Resolution meeting of Long Range Plan working group in late March or Early April. Likely Thursday to Monday or Wednesday to Sunday. • LRP final report due ~October 2015
