... The mission of the EMSP is the following:4 · develop a targeted, long-term basic research agenda to reduce cleanup costs and risks to workers and the public; · bridge the gap between broad fundamental research and needs-driven applied technology; and · serve as a stimulus for focusing the nation's science infrastructure on critical environmental problems. Since its inception in 1996, the EMSP has awarded 306 research projects in seven environmental management problem areas, classified as fol lows: 1 .
