NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe announced his selection of an independent task force to assess the productivity and priorities of the research produced by NASA's Office of Biological and Physical Research (OBPR) and to provide a report to the NASA Advisory Council. O'Keefe expected the task force, designated the Research Maximization and Prioritization Task Force (ReMAP), to recommend strategies the OBPR could use to achieve its research goals and still remain within President George W. Bush's requested budget. In addition, O'Keefe requested the task force to offer assessments and recommendations to guide NASA in maximizing the scientific returns of the ISS's missions and of its other programs. O'Keefe selected Rae Silver, the Helene L. and Mark N. Kaplan Professor of Natural and Physical Sciences at Columbia University, as the chairperson of ReMAP.
