PIER Plans for DOE Proposals

Tuesday, February 27, 1:00pm - 2:00pm (EST)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Join us to learn about the Department of Energy (DOE) requirement that proposals now include a PIER plan (PIER = Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research). This information session is tailored to inform and equip local administrators, particularly research administrators, human resources officers, DEI officers, and directors of administration and finance, with the resources and perspective to confidently support PIs in developing effective proposals.

Background: Starting last fiscal year, the DOE is requiring certain proposal submissions to include a specific description of the activities and strategies applicants will incorporate into the sponsored project to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. The requirement applies to both new proposals and renewals, and, importantly, the PIER plan must be tailored to the specific proposed project.

Speakers at this information session will include:

Michael Corcoran, Lead Federal Liaison and Associate Director, Grant and Contract Administration, Research Administration Services
Susan Gomes, Director of Research Development, Office of the Vice President for Research
Katrina McCarty, Lead DOE Liaison and Team Manager, Grant and Contract Administration, Research Administration Services
Lloyd Munjanja, Senior Community Engagement Officer, Office of the Vice President for Research
Noelle Wakefield, Assistant Dean of Diversity Initiatives and Director of the MIT Summer Research Program, Office Of Graduate Education

Registration is not required; please add it to your calendar and join us on Zoom. This session is open to the MIT research community.
