The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is committed to the principles of equal opportunity employment for employees and job applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information.
Equality of opportunity is an essential element of readiness. The ONR organization fully supports the Department of Navy’s equal employment opportunity (EEO) objectives, initiatives and goals. We strive as an organization to recruit, hire, develop and retain a workforce reflective of our nation. We search to recognize and utilize the unique qualities that employees of different backgrounds and cultures bring to the workplace. As an important member of the ONR team, each employee should understand his/her responsibility in applying the principles of EEO programs in the workplace. Our continued success requires that employees and applicants receive equal consideration and treatment in employment opportunities.
The EEO Program helps raise awareness of employment-related concerns in the workplace. The overall objective in EEO is to ensure employment barriers are eliminated in the workplace to provide an equal opportunity for all employees and applicants.
ONR provides reasonable workplace accommodations for qualified individuals with a disability. Employees may request an accommodation through their first line supervisors and/or the ONR EEO office. Accommodations include but are not limited to TTYs, print enlargers, and interpreters for the hearing impaired. Please contact the ONR EEO office at 703-696-5694, or send an email to the EEO Director, Ms. Johnson at cecily.l.johnson2.civ@us.navy.mil for more information.
The EEO Complaints Program is available to all ONR employees and applicants for employment. Current employees, former employees, or applicants for employment who feel subjected to a form of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation should contact ONR’s EEO office by clicking on the link https://www.nrl.navy.mil/About-Us/EEO-Office.
