Paula these are government security clearance.

BI means a Background Investigation or Information Check.  This is used
as a start for all security clearances, but it is augmented by
additional checks for high level clearance.  BI generally means
documenting the last 7 to 12 years of your life down to the day in
regards to jobs, school, travel, etc.  There are various levels of BI,
such as level 1, level 2, etc.

TS/SCI Lifestyle means a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmentalized
Information Security clearance.  The Lifestyle means that it also
requires a current Lifestyle Polygraph test.  They can also require a
current Counter Intelligence Polygraph test along with that if they
want.
