Secretary Wright said, “By removing unnecessary barriers, we are giving our scientists, engineers, and technicians more freedom to focus on the critical missions that matter most.”
The Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced updated directives for the modernization of national laboratory operations. The department is reducing repetitive rules and providing updated guidance for faculty to increase research functionality and output.
The department stated, “Working with laboratory leaders and subject matter experts, DOE reviewed a targeted set of directives governing day-to-day field operations. Its reforms build on more than three decades of recommendations from Congress, the Government Accountability Office, the National Academies, and other independent reviews that have identified unnecessary complexity in DOE’s directives framework.“
“America’s National Laboratories are among our nation’s greatest scientific assets and have powered generations of American discovery and innovation,” said Secretary Chris Wright. “By removing unnecessary barriers, we are giving our scientists, engineers, and technicians, more freedom to focus on the critical missions that matter most.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Wright as he oversees the modernization of operational policies in national laboratories.
- For U.S. researchers, engineers, technicians, and scientists as they conduct day-to-day field operations.
