Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI)

Mission— Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI)

DEOMI's mission is to foster cultures of excellence through learning, research, and integrated knowledge management to optimize total force readiness. To accomplish this mission, DEOMI uses RDT&E funds to conduct Management Support. This includes: • Management Support to inform advanced technologies, training methodologies, human relations job-aids, research publications and recommendations. Studies on a broad array of human relations topics to include on how leadership, human relations, organizational performance, and other related topics impact individuals, units, organizations and their performance both positively and negatively. Additionally, research domains will expand to include Science of Learning to optimize DEOMI’s education and training mission objectives. • DEOMI’s Summer STEM program (e.g., Office of Naval Research programs), partnerships with the Military Service Academies, and other formal and informal collaborations with external academic, research, and government agencies across the world. Together, these initiatives ensure DEOMI fields up-to-date training programs and deploys cutting edge training and support technologies/materials across the DoD. This is required by Executive Orders 13111 and 13218, which mandate all federal agencies to take full advantage of technological advances to educate and train the workforce, to ensure employees acquire the skills and learning needed to succeed in a changing workplace, and to report on the training technologies used.
