How to Register in the Lab Planning Tool

Use this guide when you are ready to create an account in the lab planning tool.  The registration process in Lab Planning is a two-phase process. The first phase, described below, will require a user to affiliate with a lab. An account administrator from the selected lab will verify your account and approve your registration. 

 Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Start Lab User Registration 

• Navigate to the Lab Planning Tool.  

• Read through the terms and conditions and select “Accept. "

• On the OneID page, choose how you want to sign in. 

Step 2: Review Contact Information 

• Enter/verify personal information including: First and last name, email address, and phone number.  

• Select ‘Next.’

Step 3: Request Lab Roles 

• Select DOE Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) from the Affiliation Dropdown.  

• Select the name of your National Lab or FFRDC.

• Under ‘Available Roles’ select the lab role(s) that is most applicable to you

• Under ‘Selected Roles,’ review the selected role. Delete any unwanted role(s).
• Select ‘Finish’ to continue and confirm the request. 

 Step 4: Submit

Take a moment to review everything, then hit Submit Request.

You're all set—once approved by the lab, the Office Administrator (EERE) will assign you to an office-specific role in lab planning.
