•Manage EEEE parts workforce at the Agency level–Radiation effects on EEEE parts are in-scope, as is management of the Agency

radiation test facility block buy–GSFC is lead Center, with support from JPL

•Provide resources for Centers to acquire in-scope workforce expertise and a forum to coordinate activities with stakeholders (e.g., OCE, OSMA, etc.) and customers

•Track the state of the Agency workforce, including Center expertise, demand, and capacity

•Support Agency policy and technical decision-making processes•Engage external partners as needed to support Agency objectives•Evolve management functions as needed

•Distributed across the United States and globe–Located in more than 15 states across the U.S.–International facilities

•Split into several general categories–Heavy ion (four primary U.S. sites: BNL, LBNL, MSU, and TAMU)–High-energy protons, including medical therapy proton facilities (many)–Medium- and low-energy protons (e.g., CNL, LBNL, and TAMU)

•Require various procurement mechanisms and agreements•For heavy ion SEE test facilities, concerns about available capacity and capabilities required to meet growing demands from academia, government, and industry–Cross-agency collaborations are examining the trade space and investment options
