+# Contributor Code of Conduct
+
+As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of
+fostering an open and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who
+contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating
+documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities.
+
+We are committed to making participation in this project a harassment-free
+experience for everyone, regardless of level of experience, gender, gender
+identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance,
+body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or nationality.
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery
+* Personal attacks
+* Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic
+  addresses, without explicit permission
+* Other unethical or unprofessional conduct
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+By adopting this Code of Conduct, project maintainers commit themselves to
+fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of managing
+this project. Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of
+Conduct may be permanently removed from the project team.
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community.
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting a project maintainer at [email protected]. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated by a Materials Project staff member
+and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances.
+
+Project maintainers and Materials Project staff members are obligated to
+maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident to the extent 
+possible by law and institutional policy. Community members should be aware that Materials Project
+staff members are subject to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's [harassment and discrimination policies](https://diversity.lbl.gov/harassment-discrimination-policies/), 
+which require that reports of sexual violence or harassment (as defined in the policy)
+be reported to the institution.
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage],
+version 1.3.0, available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/code-of-conduct.html

+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+As stated in the MPSF [bylaws](https://github.com/materialsproject/foundation/blob/main/bylaws.md), represented codes are expected to adopt and enforce the [Contributor Code of Conduct](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/). This PR serves to formally implement that provision.
+
+## Considered Options
+
+### Reference in README and include a copy in the repository
+
+To put this into practice, MPSF codes will
+
+1. Include a `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` in the root of the repository that contains the text of the Contributor Covenant, a copy of which is
+   included in the Foundation repository as part of this PR. Note that language has been added to the Contributor Covenant to clarify
+   that reports are reviewed by MP Staff members and that they are subject to LBNL's required reporting policies.
+3. Include a contact email address ([email protected]) as the contact point in the above file.
+4. Include a statement in the README file such as the following:
+    > New contributors are welcome, please see our Code of Conduct (with link to the .md file).
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Implementing the above steps was majority approved in Jan 2024 pending review by MP leadership, which was completed later in 2024.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+All codes have already implemented some form of Code of Conduct. Each is recommended to update the document to the version included in this PR,
+and reference it in the README.
