Assessment of Progress towards HEP Long-term Goals
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Office of Management and Budget requested in 2004 that the Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics (HEP) develop a set of long-term goals in Scientific Advancement to which the HEP program is committed. These goals (attached) are meant to be representative of the important priorities of the program, are not meant to be comprehensive, and are not necessarily goals of individual experiments in the field. Recent changes in the OMB PART evaluation system now require the definition of an additional level of achievement that corresponds to making good progress towards meeting each goal. We have added this performance measure in a column labeled “Good Performance”.
