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 

  • Read through the terms and conditions and select “Accept. "
  • On the OneID page, choose how you want to sign in.
    • Internal Users:

      • DOE PIV-D: Derived PIV Verification
      • OneKey
      • EITS: If you do not have a PIV card, sign on with a this DOE site account
    • General Public users:

      • Select Login.gov to authenticate your account.
      • Sign in with your Login.gov account or create an account. When signing in, a one-time code is sent to the phone number registered to your account.
      • Enter the code and click Submit. View the user guide for step-by-step instructions for creating a Login.gov account.

Step 2: Review Contact Information

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 ‘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.


Please Note: You will not be able to view any projects in lab planning until your office-specific role is assigned. No action is required on your part.
