Risk Management Research

Research Programs

EPA is focused on integrated, interdisciplinary research that reflects national priorities, scientific requirements, and implementation realities. EPA has entrusted the Risk Management Research Program to bring about technological and engineering solutions to address the world’s most serious environmental issues/problems. Our research programs are directly linked to EPA's mission, goals, and priorities in order to provide effective environmental solutions for the nation and world. Our researchers have taken on many unique challenges and delivered outstanding results. Below is our list of research program priorities.
