The following guideline applies to all researchers supported by Basic Energy Sciences: |

Program managers and supervisors of researchers
supported by BES programs are strongly encouraged to be sensitive and flexible
in response to conflicts that may arise in balancing career demands with family
responsibilities. In particular, researchers should be informed that there is
flexibility with regard to attendance at BES-sponsored functions including
contractors' meetings and program reviews. Events such as pregnancy, childbirth,
death or illness in the family, or other personal events are valid reasons for
personnel substitution or postponement. If the function cannot be postponed, it
may be advantageous to give experience to junior staff, postdoctoral fellows, or
graduate students. If there is a question regarding attendance at a particular
BES review or similar function, the manager or researcher should not hesitate to
contact the BES program
manager. |
