3. Why does DOE need Highlight Slides?
Purpose
Convey current scientific and technical research results in a way that is intriguing, succinct, relevant, and easily understood by both technical and non-technical communities.
Use
Information can be employed and adapted for multiple uses, including meetings with other federal agencies, review committees, scientific panels, and budget meetings.
Highlight text can also be a critical component of annual budget request documents that are reviewed by DOE senior leadership and Congress.
Needs
It is exceptionally important to convey the importance or significance the research has on the particular research field.
A standard format for scientific highlights helps the Office of Science to efficiently and effectively communicate research results to the public.
