Guidelines for Developing Standardized Accretion Promotion Packages:

**[Overview]{.underline}**

In an effort to ensure consistency and fairness in the promotion
process, GSFC has validated objective criteria for accretion promotions
for scientists and engineers.  The criteria for both scientists and
engineers at the GS-14 and GS-15 levels are organized in a standard
format with consistent, overarching objectives. Questions regarding each
criteria statement have been developed to provide a standardized method
of documenting an employee\'s readiness for accretion to the next level.

The following questions closely mirror the promotion criteria for
engineers accreting to the GS-14 level. The Center's policy is that one
must meet ***all criteria*** to be eligible for an accretion promotion.
The questions are designed to help supervisors and employees demonstrate
in a systematic, consistent manner that an individual has successfully
met each criteria statement.

**[Instructions]{.underline}**

The response to each of the criteria areas should fully describe not
only the situation faced, but also the people involved and the results
and impact of actions taken. Specifically, each response should address:

-   **Situation Faced:** Describe the situation, circumstances,
    audience, or project/program that is the subject of the
    accomplishment. This is important in providing a context for
    understanding what was done to address the issues, problems, or
    circumstances faced. Be sure to clearly describe what made the
    situation particularly difficult or why the partnership was
    especially important.

-   **Specific Activities:** Describe actions taken in sufficient detail
    that an evaluator can readily understand why and how the actions
    made a significant contribution. Describe what was done or achieved
    using specific behaviors. Avoid using general statements to describe
    actions taken. For example, if relating how someone was persuaded to
    a point of view, it would not be effective to say "used good
    arguments that were persuasive." Instead, discuss exactly what
    arguments were used (i.e., what was said that was persuasive), why
    these were good arguments to make, to whom they were made, and how
    these arguments ultimately succeeded in swaying another person to
    the desired viewpoint.

> GSFC engineers often work in teams to accomplish important goals and
> outcomes. If an example comes from making a major contribution to a
> team, describe [the specific]{.underline} activities, role, and
> responsibilities taken on as a team member. For example, if the role
> was sub-team leader, describe actions taken as the leader rather than
> what the team members did.

-   **Results and Impact:** Explain the results and impact of actions.
    For example, if an accomplishment resulted in work being conducted
    more efficiently, then describe the exact efficiencies that were
    realized and the time saved through efficiencies. In describing the
    impact, be sure to discuss the significance and importance of the
    outcomes achieved (individually or as part of team) for GSFC, NASA,
    or the engineering field.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   **Time Period:** Identify the specific time frame in which the
    accomplishment was made and/or completed. Include the month(s) and
    year(s) in which each accomplishment occurred. All accomplishments
    shall have taken place within the last three (3) years.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   **Reference Name:** Provide the name and contact information of an
    official supervisor to verify the accomplishment.

**[Important Points to Remember]{.underline}:**

-   The themes of some criteria/questions are related to each other and
    it is reasonable to reference the same project in response to
    numerous questions. However, it is important that the response is
    written to address the intent of each question. For example, in
    documenting experience in working with multiple organizations, the
    response may reference the same project discussed when responding to
    a question on leading a group of individuals. However, the focus of
    the response is different -- one focuses on working with groups
    outside the project (stakeholders, customers, affected parties,
    etc.) the other would focus on skills in leading the people directly
    involved in the success of the project.

-   While the same project or program may be discussed in relating
    accomplishments in the different criteria areas, consider discussing
    different projects or programs for at least some accomplishment
    areas, in order to show different aspects of experience.

-   Be sure that all of the accomplishments discussed have been
    completed within the last three (3) years.
