The original plan called for external reviews to assess scientific and technical merit by using panels of scientists. Following external review, EM program managers were to review the proposals for relevance and to prioritize them for EM management.~° The committee had some initial concerns that this process could have diluted the quality of the science because the "relevance" review appeared to be a somewhat separate process.

The committee expects that the proposals submitted to the program in FY 1997 wall be of higher quality, on average, than proposals in this year's competition, because researchers wait have more time to learn about EM's needs and prepare proposals. In short, full funding wait accelerate the establishment of what the committee has referred to as a "committed cadre" of the nation's top researchersscientists knowledgeable of EM's problems and needs who produce research results that have long-term value to the cleanup mission.
