Abstract: | |
The Office of Research and Development (ORD) is the scientific and technological arm of the EPA. Comprised of three headquarters offices, three national research laboratories and two national centers, ORD is organized around a basic strategy of risk assessment and risk management to remediate environmental and human health problems. ORD focuses on the advancement of basic peer-reviewed scientific research and the implementation of cost-effective, common sense technology. Fundamental to ORD's mission is a partnership with the academic scientific community, through extramural research grants and fellowships to help develop the sound environmental research necessary to ensure effective policy and regulatory decisions.
ORD is responsible for the research and development needs of the EPA's operating programs and the conduct of an integrated research and development program for the EPA. The national program encompasses health risk assessment, health effects, engineering and technology, processes and effects, acid rain deposition, monitoring systems, and quality assurance. ORD provides for the dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge, including analytical methods, monitoring techniques, and modeling methodologies.
The following research labs and research centers are a part of ORD:
National Exposure Research Laboratory, Research Triangle Park, NC
National Risk Management Research Laboratory, Cincinnati, OH
