Regional Science Topic Workshops
The Regional Science Topic Workshop series is sponsored by the Office of Research and Development's (ORD's) Office of Science Policy (OSP). The objectives of the Regional Science Topic Workshops are to: (1) establish a better cross-Agency understanding of the science applicable to human health and/or ecological topics specific to a region(s), and (2) develop a network of EPA scientists who will continue to exchange information on these science topics as the Agency moves forward in planning education, research, and risk management programs.
Each year, the Regional Science Liasons (RSLs)
and regional staff identify priority science topics on which to conduct
workshops. Each workshop is planned and conducted by a team of regional,
ORD, and interested program office scientists, led by a regional
chairperson and facilitated by one or more Regional Science Liaisons or
Superfund and Technology Liaisons. Participants
maintain the cross-Agency science networks they establish at the workshops
through post-workshop projects and activities. The goals of these projects
are the identification of collaborative research opportunities, creation
of information-sharing mechanisms such as interactive web sites, and
development of science fact sheets for regional use.
