That means that if you refuse to explain how your project will advance certain leftist social causes, you will not be considered for federal tax dollars dolled out by the DOE\u2019s Office of Science.<\/p>\n<p>On October 3, the DOE website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/science\/articles\/everyone-has-role-play-making-science-more-equitable-and-inclusive\">issued<\/a> a press release saying, \u201c\u2026 beginning in FY 2023, the Office of Science is adding a new requirement to our solicitation processes: applicants must now submit a <a href=\"https:\/\/science.osti.gov\/grants\/Applicant-and-Awardee-Resources\/PIER-Plans\" aria-label=\"plan for Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research(link is external)\">plan for\u00a0<em>Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research<\/em><\/a>, or PIER Plan, along with their research proposals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These plans should \u201cdescribe the activities and strategies that investigators and research personnel will incorporate to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in their research projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The more employees are involved, the more detailed the plans are expected to be.<\/p>\n<p>Based on language from the DOE, these plans should include information on how the research team will help \u201cindividuals from groups and communities historically minoritized in STEM fields and careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that means you must now show how your research project will hire or benefit people who aren\u2019t straight white men.<\/p>\n<p>If it doesn\u2019t help such groups sufficiently enough, then your research project may not receive funding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be a requirement for proposals submitted to all Office of Science solicitations, as well as invited proposals from the DOE national laboratories,\u201d DOE added. \u201cThe PIER Plans will be evaluated under a new merit review criterion as part of the peer review process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Office of Science frequently asked questions page <a href=\"https:\/\/science.osti.gov\/grants\/Applicant-and-Awardee-Resources\/PIER-Plans\/Q-and-As\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">makes it clear<\/a> that you must include these PIER plans just to have your solicitation request even looked at:<\/p>\n<p><em>Will my application still be considered and evaluated if it does not include a PIER Plan?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>No. If an application is missing a PIER Plan, it will be considered an incomplete application and will not be evaluated. Applicants should consider whether it would be in their best interests to withdraw the application.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Office of Science also claimed that it had a responsibility to force this onto the American people because it is \u201cthe largest federal sponsor of basic research in the physical sciences and a steward of public funding.\u201d The office receives billions of dollars in federal funding, and it is using it to push the Critical Race Theory.<\/p>\n<p>That money is supposed to go toward our nation\u2019s best and brightest, which in turn strengthen our energy grid, national security, transportation, and more. Our scientists, especially the ones we fund, are supposed to make the best technology possible to help America.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, because Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/01\/20\/executive-order-advancing-racial-equity-and-support-for-underserved-communities-through-the-federal-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signed an executive order<\/a> for the purpose of \u201cadvancing racial equity\u201d in the federal government to combat the devastating effects of so-called systemic racism, our nation\u2019s smartest people have to take their minds away from the scientific process to make sure that their plans line up with left-wing radical theories about how the world should work.<\/p>\n<p>In the springtime, Ryan Girdusky, founder of 1776 Project PAC, told The Daily Wire that \u201cplan towards equity is race-based Marxism with a different word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe entire program is set to lower standards, dilute meritocracy, and have the first large-scale government-supported laws that discriminate against people based on their race since before Eisenhower was President,\u201d Girdusky added.<\/p>\n<p>At a time when America is facing an energy crisis, an artificial intelligence race with China, and supposedly a climate change crisis, the Biden administration is focusing on DIE \u2014 which could in turn kill what made this nation great: equality, hard work, and judging each other based on the quality of our character or ideas \u2014 not skin color.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tim Meads is a former DOE speech writer in the Trump Administration.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last spring, this author warned that the Biden administration was readying to unleash a \u201ctotal transformation of government\u201d based on three of the main principles of Critical Race Theory: Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE).
