Principal Investigators' Meetings

Principal Investigators' meetings are Division-sponsored technical meetings of researchers supported by the Division. They are regularly held to present and discuss recent research, evaluate opportunities for inter-project collaboration, exchange scientific ideas among the researchers, and to provide program management the opportunity to assess overall balance across the portfolio and evaluate future research priorities.
