15 GC HERC Greater Chicago High Education Recruitment Consortium http://www.gcherc.org 22-member organization colleges and universities, medical centers, and research and cultural institutions Co-founders: University of Chicago, Northwestern University, University of Illinois at Chicago, Argonne and Fermilab Through the sharing of information and resources, GC HERC supports its member institutions in attracting outstanding faculty, administrators, and staff. A web-based search engine allows users to link two profiles and find jobs that match both search criteria. GC HERC help organizations recruit and retain faculty and staff, particularly in regard to the hiring of minorities and women.

8. OHAP (Organization and Human Asset Plan) Workforce Planning
19
19 Workforce Planning Evolution of Workforce Required skill mix may vary with time, especially with ending the Tevatron and starting new programs Need to analyze differences between resources available and resource needs for the future program (gap analysis). This gap analysis helps planning for retraining, redirecting, and retaining Fermilab staff. See the progress at http://www.fnal.gov/directorate/FRA_Initiatives/OHAP.html http://www.fnal.gov/directorate/FRA_Initiatives/OHAP.html

20 10. HEP Community Partnership In all our interactions with the field we are trying to incorporate participation from the HEP community. Fermilab have been working with the community to define a Fermilab/national agenda for particle physics. The Steering Group has created a roadmap with large involvement of the HEP community through direct participation in constructing the roadmap, seeking input from the Division of Particles and Fields and Division of Particle Beams of the American Physical Society and from numerous meetings throughout the country. In planning for the ILC and for Project X the laboratory has engaged broad coalitions across the country involving SLAC, JLAB, LBNL, ANL and BNL and numerous universities. There were 3 workshops on physics and accelerator for Project X in November (Nov. 12-13 for accelerator and Nov. 16-17 and Jan. 24-25 for physics). The motivation of the workshops is to clarify and expand upon the physics case and accelerator issues for Project X, in addition to giving the community an opportunity to learn and to get involved.
21
21 10. HEP Community Partnership (cont.) The CMS Center, the LHC Physics Center, the Center for Particle Astrophysics and the Accelerator Physics Center have been created in part to serve as focal points for interactions with and support of the HEP community. In establishing new officers for the CMS Research Program, the CMS Center, and LPC, we have formed search committees consisting of CMS physicists from universities and institutions across US CMS and with membership from global CMS. Through URA, the member universities bring their input to the management of Fermilab. Now that HEP facilities will be consolidated at Fermilab, the senior management is working to insure that we work together with the community in all future projects. The senior leadership of the laboratory meets regularly with the Users Executive Committee.

22 12. Laboratory Collaboration Council The first council meeting was held June 13, 2007 between the Directors of Argonne and Fermilab. Further, various members of the senior staff of both organizations have met to begin planning for the operation of this council. ANL-FNAL Collaboration meetings http://www.fnal.gov/directorate/ANL-FNAL-Collaboration/ November 2006 at Argonne May 2007 at Fermilab November 2007 at Argonne June 2008 at Fermilab Meetings – Accelerator Education, SRF material, detector R&D, cosmological calculation, …

23 FRA Institutions - Open Science Grid and TeraGrid now have multi- year programs to provide high performance secure national infrastructures and work with a broad range of communities. US LHC critically depends on and contributes to this worldwide distributed infrastructure. Partnerships in SciDAC projects (e.g. Center for Enabling Distributed Petascale Science) and collaborative activities between Fermilab Computing Division and ANL/UChicago groups are developing needed network and data-, resource-, and system- management software and services. Fermilab and UChicago are leaders of a Grid education engagement project “Interactions in Understanding The Universe (I2U2)”. 16. Partnership in Grid Computing
