Purpose: On June 17, 2003, twelve EPA Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grantees will present the results of their research to Region 5 managers and staff. The STAR Environmental Research Seminar, the first to be held in Chicago, is being modeled after the extremely successful pilot seminar held in Boston last November. STAR funds cutting-edge environmental research projects nationwide, with many focusing on specific needs of the regions. State environmental agency representatives will also be invited to attend this seminar, giving them and Region 5 a unique opportunity to learn about a variety of STAR research projects.

Attendees will have two speaker sessions to choose from each hour. Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear from these twelve respected researchers and experts and learn about how their discoveries might have an impact on environmental science and policy making, your environmental program, your project, your state and your community.

  • Cumulative Risk

  • PCB Phytoremediation
  • Remediation of contaminated sediments
  • Children's exposure to pesticides
  • Fate and transport of Mercury in Lake Superior
