Maintaining the relevance of its funded research to site cleanup needs will be important for the EMSP after the restructuring is completed in fiscal year 2003 for example, by continuing the joint review of EMSP proposal by both OST for relevance to EM's needs and the Office of Science for scientific merit. The Reoganization of OST In an effort to expedite and reduce the ultimate costs of DOE site cleanup, the Secretary of Energy directed that a review of the EM program be undertaken.
