Project Overview

ePME is the U.S. Department of Energy's E-government Corporate R&D Portfolio Management Environment. When fully implemented, ePME will deliver a system to enable the management, tracking, and reporting of R&D projects across the Department. It will use information contained in the myriad of existing program management systems, extracting critical data necessary to track research projects from the point of submission through project closeout.

ePME is a first of its kind electronic system that will enable seamless R&D program management from project planning through closeout. As part of the Department's E-government strategy to maximize efficiency through the effective use of technology, the ePME vision is to: 1) streamline and unify the Department's research and development tracking, management, and reporting processes; 2) enable portfolio management capabilities to facilitate more strategic investment decisions; and 3) implement the technology solution to support those processes in an electronic distributed information environment.
