Laboratory Performance Report Card
In the latest of a series of steps to improve its management of key U.S. scientific assets, the Department of Energy’s Office of Science has revamped the appraisal process it uses each year to evaluate the scientific, technological, management, and operational performance of the contractors who manage and operate each of its 10 national laboratories. This new appraisal process went into effect for the fiscal year 2006 performance evaluation period (October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006).
The new appraisal process provides a common structure and scoring system across all 10 Office of Science laboratories. It has moved the assessment methodology to focus on the value-added provided by the contractor and the systems they put in place to manage and operate the laboratories.*
