ePME Helps DOE

ePME will bring efficiency by

• Significantly increasing R&D process efficiencies by unifying DOE's numerous R&D program management systems into one unified system.
• Enabling R&D project administration to proceed with greater speed by providing:
  • Quicker proposal receipt, review and approval processes;
  • Faster starts on approved projects; and
  • Rapid data aggregation for decision making and reporting.
• Eliminating the need for paper by electronically automating the R&D management and administrative processes.

ePME will bring consistency by

• Establishing a Department-wide, comprehensive program management framework encompassing:
  • Multi-Year Program Planning;
  • Portfolio Management;
  • Tracking & Reporting;
  • Analysis & Evaluation; and
  • Program Guidance.
• Connecting all R&D stakeholders electronically by providing an enterprise-wide technology solution.
• Interfacing with other Department E-government initiatives by creating a Department-wide, unified R&D management system.
• Enabling the tracking of R&D projects from inception through close-out.

In other words, ePME will bring efficiency and consistency to DOE R&D management.
