"Through this new enterprise, the best and brightest from across
the sciences and across the country, can focus their talents on
meeting the challenges NASA faces in our future missions," said
Goldin.
Under the new plan, OLMSA will be renamed the Office of Biological
and Physical Research (BPR) and enhanced to form a separate
enterprise focusing on scientific research. Previously, OLMSA was
a part of the Human Exploration and Development of Space
Enterprise (HEDS). The new BPR office will work closely with HEDS
to facilitate long-term exploration of space.
NASA Chief Scientist Dr. Kathie L. Olsen will be acting Associate
Administrator for the new enterprise, and will return to her
position as Chief Scientist once a permanent Associate
Administrator is named. Dr. Julie Swain will serve as acting
Deputy Associate Administrator.
