Dear Colleagues, The DoE is expected to announce a new program for the support of Linear Collider Machine and Detector R&D at the Santa Cruz Linear Collider Retreat, June 27-29, at the University of California at Santa Cruz. These funds could support work by DoE groups involved in the LC R&D efforts currently being organized at Fermilab and SLAC. Members of the US HEP Community interested in submitting an LC R&D proposal to the DOE, should plan to attend an organizational meeting to be held at Santa Cruz on Sunday, June 30. Please register for the meeting through the Santa Cruz website: http://scipp.ucsc.edu/LC/. Be sure to reserve accommodations for your additional stay. The American Linear Collider Physics Group will facilitate coordination of all R&D efforts, DoE and NSF. You should declare your R&D interests by communicating a short description to the appropriate ALCPG Working Group Leader (listed on the above website) ASAP. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the features of the new DOE program with an Agency Representative, review the research plans from interested groups, and make plans for proposal writing and submission.
