Description
Excerpt: Sound science allows EPA to identify the most important sources of risk to human health and the environment and therefore underpins the Agency’s priorities and policies. It is critical that research and scientific assessment be integrated with EPA’s policy and regulatory activities. As the Agency addresses increasingly complex issues in the future, its research programs will continue to provide the understanding and technologies needed to detect, abate, and avoid public health and environmental problems. Under Goal 8 EPA conducts core research to improve our understanding of the fundamental principles underlying risk assessment and risk management. Additionally EPA conducts problem-driven research to address specific environmental risks associated with a number of the other strategic goals, and descriptions of this research can be found in the discussion of these goals.
