DEI Performance Appraisal Guidance
DEIA goals should provide impact and value to the organization. Staff should own and be responsible for the types of activities undertaken. A minimum of one DEIA goal is required. It's recommended that each goal consist of a minimum of two activities. DEI Office staff are available to help you craft your goals if you need assistance.
Focus Themes
Twice a year, the Lab focuses on a key DEIA theme or topic. Resources for each Theme include videos, discussion prompts, and suggested actions plans. Curated resources are provided that allow everyone to choose their own learning path.
Lab Diversity & Inclusion Plan (LDIP)
To achieve our DEIA vision and address the major DEIA challenges, a multi-year, strategic approach has been established.The Laboratory Diversity & Inclusion Plan lays out our DEIA strategy, documenting how we will cultivate an inclusive environment, recruit and retain a diverse workforce, develop partnerships with minority serving institutions, and more.
PIER Plan
The DOE Office of Science requires that all project proposals include an appendix containing a Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research (PIER) Plan that describes how applicants will promote DEIA in their project.
MoU Program
Part of the Lab's 4-pillar DEIA strategy, the 'Expanding the Circle of Peers' pillar increases the trusted relationships managers, scientists, and engineers rely on when seeking qualified talent. Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) between the Lab and Minority Serving Institutions establish a formal relationship that benefit both partners. Each MoU identifies a Champion for both organizations.
