The Department of Energy Office of Science’s (SC) Office of Scientific Workforce and Integrity (SWI) collaborates across SC to advance organizational best practices in SC’s awards management policies and practices for broadening access to SC's extramural competitive research programs, to promote workforce diversity and inclusive workplace cultures at the SC DOE National Laboratories, and to uphold SC’s Statement of Commitment.
Broadening access and fostering inclusive research and training environments that value and celebrate a diversity of people, ideas, cultures, and educational backgrounds is foundational to delivering on the SC mission, and a cornerstone to effectively advancing the U.S. research and scientific innovation enterprise.
We invite you to learn more about how SC is Advancing SC Business Practices and promoting workforce diversity and inclusive workplace cultures at the SC DOE National Laboratories.We have also created a repository of publicly available Community Resources, a collection of information resources related to addressing barriers and broadening access to STEM research, training, and education.
SC does not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind, including sexual or non-sexual harassment, bullying, intimidation, violence, threats of violence, retaliation, or other disruptive behavior in the federal workplace, including DOE field site offices, or at national laboratories, scientific user facilities, academic institutions, other institutions that we fund, or other locations where activities that we support are carried out. The DOE has long-standing policies and procedures for the prevention of discrimination and harassment. SC has established the DOE Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policies site to make those policies and procedures more accessible to the scientific community and the institutions that receive DOE SC funding.
As SC continues to identify opportunities to improve our policies, practices, and communications to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in furtherance of our core values and mission, updated policies, procedures, and resources will be posted on our website on an ongoing basis.
