The Consortium for Risk Evaluation with Stakeholder Participation (CRESP) is a university-based consortium led by the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) in New Jersey and the School of Public Health and Community Medicine of the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle. Designed to be an independent, outside integrating institution on risk, CRESP was selected in DOE`s 1994 Notice of Proposed Interest competition and awarded a five-year cooperative agreement on March 13, 1995. CRESP`s mission is to inform protective and cost-effective cleanup and enhance stakeholder understanding of the nation`s nuclear weapons production waste sites by improving the scientific and technical basis of environmental management decisions. Eight separate task groups, drawn from the two universities, have been established to organize research and operations for CRESP. One senior researcher from one of the two schools directs the overall CRESP effort for that task group. Each university is currently focusing its site-specific research on issues and concerns raised at either Hanford or Savannah River. CRESP`s Independent Peer Review group, peer reviews CRESP`s work and has agreed to provide a review of major risk-evaluation processes within Environmental Management at DOE.
