Research and Efforts in the Human Dimension: A Special Issue on Human-Systems Research in the U.S. Department of Energy

Bennett, Phil C.; Armenta, Mika

Aided by its 17 National Laboratories, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) carries out a mission to, ‘‘ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions,’’ in arenas ranging from the digital information omniverse and electric power grid to the nuclear cycle. Although DOE research, development, and applications (RD&A) have traditionally drawn from the physical sciences, a complementary understanding is emerging in the lab complex of the human dimension.
