All research projects supported by the Office of Biological
and Environmental Research (BER) undergo regular peer review and evaluation
based on the procedures set down in 10 CFR Part 605 for the extramural grant
program and in a parallel procedure for BER research at the DOE Laboratories
and scientific user facilities. Peer review of BER projects is performed
to provide an independent assessment of the scientific and/or technical merit
of the research by peers having knowledge and expertise equal to that of
the researchers whose work they review.
