... The CEES planning process offers as well an additional mechanism to preserve program focus, through procedures of the CEES that now subject proposed USGCRP initiatives of individual agencies to interagency scrutiny. The CEES interagency approach is a useful mechanism which, if effectively coupled with ongoing, external review processes, has the potential to provide the structure for an exceptionally strong program of research.
From page 23...
... INTERACTION AMONG PARTICIPATING AGENCIES The USGCRP has developed on the basis of extraordinary cooperation and interaction among many federal agencies through the CEES. Interagency agreement on program goals, the ordering of scientific priorities of research tasks within them, and agreements on an overall, multi-agengy program budget reflect what may be an unprecedented achievement in interagency coordination.
From page 24...
... PRINCIPAL RECOMMENDATIONS The panel believes that the multi-agency process established through the CEES provides the mechanism for a coordinated, effective program. However, mechanisms need to be strengthened to involve the extramural scientific community in the review of the USGCRP plans, both at the levels of both the overall program and the individual participating agencies.
