The Center for the Study of Plasma Microturbulence was a SciDAC project managed by the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences in the US Department of Energy. Funding for the University of Maryland was initially modest (40k/year) for the first two years. The remaining four years were funded at 201k/year, with a single $50k supplemental in 2015, and a no-cost extension that ran through March, 2018. The CSPM involved several institutions whose efforts are documented separately. At UMD, the CSPM supported two graduate students (Kanekar and Wilkie), two post-doctoral fellows (Landreman and TenBarge), and summer salary for the UMD PI (Dorland). The supplemental in 2015 provided additional salary for a sabbatical by Dorland in 2015/16. Landreman and TenBarge both transitioned to separately funded research staff positions at Maryland at the ends of their post-doctoral, CSPM-supported, positions.
