Scientific AchievementE.g.: Warp capability established on star date 2138.10.12. Successful travel from Sol II to Sol VIII region. Initial tests caused partial deafness from unrelated sonic input.

Significance and ImpactE.g.; This new capability allows direct contact with extra-solar civilizations. Immediate impact of first contact due to Vulcan interstellar science team

How to Build a DOE Office of Science Highlight Slide

TitleAttention grabbing and accessible but not exaggerated

TextAll text should be short and to the point – minimize words and stress significance to society• Scientific Achievement – 50 words or less• Significance and Impact – 50 words or less

Importance, relevance, or intriguing component of the finding to the field

• Research Involved – Address the research approach in 2-4 bullet pointsGive a ~175 word detailed explanation plus additional description of figure if needed in the

PowerPoint Notes section

CitationFull citation with all authors’ names is preferable

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.

Why does DOE need Highlight Slides?
