Exploratory Research Grants
Introduction The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged,
through a series of laws and executive orders, with
protecting human health and environmental quality and
finding a comprehensive approach to solving other
environmental problems associated with toxic and
hazardous substances. The specific decisions on how
best to accomplish these mandates require that a series
of complex scientific, technical, economic, and political
judgments be made. The complexity of the environment
makes it apparent that solutions to environmentally-
related problems often require more basic or
fundamental research than would normally be expected
in a response-directed research program. A primary
goal, therefore, of EPA's Office of Research and
Development (ORD) is to develop new knowledge and
principles which can be used to address and resolve
environmental problems. ORD is particularly interested
in long-range strategic research issues to address
emerging environmental problems. Such issues could
include:
how to more accurately assess the adverse health
effects of criteria and noncriteria air pollutants
improving risk assessment methodology to
accurately assess hazards to health of chemicals in
the environment
determining how much of a change in UV-B
radiation is tolerable to health, plants and the
aquatic food chain
developing technologies which can serve as alterna-
tives to land disposal of hazardous substances
determining what technologies are needed to assure
safety to humans and the environment from
microbial agents including products of biotechnology
Consequently, ORD supports environmentally related
research, development, and demonstration efforts
through its headquarters office in Washington, D.C. and
its laboratories throughout the United States. In
addition to the work conducted in its own facilities, EPA
sponsors research elsewhere in the scientific and
academic communitythrough cooperative
agreements, negotiated contracts, and research grants.
This solicitation relates only to the research grants
procedures as administered by the ORD's Office of
Exploratory Research. Grants are important means by
which EPA underwrites research on environmental
topics in the academic sector. This document discusses
1
-------
research areas of interest to EPA and the procedures
for applying for such grant assistance. Particiation in
the research grants assistance program does not
preclude individuals or institutions from engaging in
EPA-sponsored research supported through cooperative
agreements or contracts with ORD laboratories. Those
interested in these aspects of EPA's research and
development program are encouraged to consult
directly with officials at the EPA laboratories. A list of
these laboratories appears in Appendix A.
This solicitation describes the principal areas of interest
and specific research needs and topics of the
exploratory research grants assistance program. The
principal areas of interest are:
Environmental Ecology, Biology, and Microbiology
Environmental Health
Environmental Engineering
Environmental Chemistry, Physics and
Measurements
Although this document emphasizes certain needs in
the aforementioned research areas, it is by no means all
inclusive. Every scientifically meritorious proposal will
be accorded full and fair consideration. The legislative
and administrative limitations of this program require,
however, that applications must be germane to EPA's
mission.
