Introduction
ORD Program Guide—
FY 80
The purpose of the Program Guide is
to acquaint the research and
development community with the
organizational structure of the Office
of Research and Development—and
to make public ORD's extramural
research program for FY 80.
EPA's Office of Research
and Development
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) was established in
December of 1970 to protect and
enchance the nation's environment.
The Agency was created by a
Presidential Reorganization Order
that combined 15 previously existing
units of the federal government. This
single organizational unit was
established to better control
environmental pollution, drinking
water quality, environmental
radiation and noise, solid waste,
pesticides, and other toxic
substances.
The Office of Research and
Development (ORD) is the principal
scientific component of EPA. Its
fundamental role is to produce the
scientific data and technical tools
needed to develop a national policy
for the effective control of pollution
and to promulgate adequate and
viable environmental standards.
ORD's research is supplemented by
general scientific and technical
research in other federal agencies, the
academic community, and
elsewhere. ORD also supports the
Agency's involvement in many
international organizations that
share environmental research and
development concerns.
More specific functions of ORD
include: (I) maintaining in-house
expertise capable of quickly
responding to emergencies and
giving expert advice and testimony
when necessary; (2) sharing the
results of environmental research
and development with a wide range
of individuals, groups, and agencies
in ways that are meaningful and
practical; and (3) giving expert
scientific and technical assistance to
other EPA offices to help them
formulate environmental policy.
Authority for EPA's research and
development programs is included in
the annual appropriation acts and
through the following legislation.
Clean Air Act, as amended in
1977 (P.L. 95-95)
Federal Water Pollution
Control Act (P.L. 95-217) as
amended by the Clean Water
Act of 1977 (P.L. 95-217)
Safe Drinking Water Act
(P.L. 93-523), as amended in
November 1977
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide
and Rodenticide Act, as

ORD's Extramural
Program
The Office of Research and
Development (ORD) establishes its
objectives and priorities in response
to the overall mission and priorities
of EPA and is highly concerned with
solving specific priority problems
rather than only advancing scientific
knowledge. Although the scope of
ORD projects may vary from
fundamental research to the full-
scale engineering demonstration of
new pollution control processes, all
projects are directed at meeting
specified objectives as determined by
the Agency's Zero Base Budgeting
Process (ZBB). These objectives are
described in each of the "decision
units," a planning category within
the ZBB Process. Each decision unit
has a pre-defined goal which fits into
the framework of the Agency's
overall mission. A description of
each decision unit and the funds
available for extramural assistance
begins on page 5. These are listed
alphabetically within each media
(i.e., Air, Drinking Water, etc.).
Although much of ORD's external
research is solicited by the office,
individuals and organizations may
submit unsolicited proposals. In
order to ensure a more comprehen-
sive review of all unsolicited
proposals as well as applications for
grant and cooperative agreements,
effective October I, 1979, ORD is
changing its procedures for proposal
solicitation, review, management,
and award process. See page 79 for
a detailed explanation of these new
procedures.

methodology and instrumentation
which will be used in stationary
source, mobile source, and ambient
air quality research, and the
characterization of emissions from
mobile and stationary sources.
Special studies at MERL Cincinnati,
and ES'RL. RTF will establish the
magnitude of the atmospheric
hazard from the manufacture, use
and disposal of carbon fiber products
and will evaluate control options.
The work performed under this
decision unit supports the
development and maintenance of
new source performance standards,
National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Pollutants and emission
standards for mobile source
established under Title II of the

The function of this decision unit is
the analysis of the impact of air
pollutants on terrestrial ecosystems.
This includes the effects and fate of
pollutants on the biotic and abiotic
components, the related interactions
on biological and physical processes,
and the potential impact on human
health and welfare. Research
findings of the program will relate air
pollutant concentrations to actual
and potential damage in the
environment. The unit conducts
studies of: (I) pollutant sources and
emissions; (2) the potential for air
quality deterioration; and (3) other
discharges which alter environmen-
tal conditions and affect terrestrial
systems.

Air
Health Effects/
Criteria Pollutants
The objective of this research is to
conduct studies on those air
pollutants for which Ambient Air
Quality Standards have been set.
Every five years EPA must present
an updated health data base to
support maintenance or revision of
the Standards. The major goal of this
program is to improve substantially
the existing health effects data base
on those pollutants for which these
Standards have been set. This
research will include studies of both
acute and chronic animal toxicology,
controlled human exposure, and
epidemiology. The program will
place emphasis upon designing and
performing studies which permit
EPA to assess the health effects
resulting from exposure to ambient
levels of these pollutants.

Air
Health Effects/
Non-Criteria Pollutants
The objective of this program is to
develop a health effects data base for
use in setting new ambient airquality
standards for inhalable particles,
including sulfate and nitrate
chemical species, and emission
standards for hazardous air
pollutants. Rapid screening tests are
being developed which will serve to
provide a better means of identifying
possible pollutant health threats for
future studies. Studies of the effects
of pollutant combinations on normal
and stressed animal and human
subjects as well as impaired animals
will enable the Agency to assess
standards from a real world view and
develop more realistic margins of
safety. Population studies will allow
EPA to assess health effects resulting
from actual exposures to these
pollutants.

Health Effects/
Transportation Sources
The major objective of this research
is to provide the regulatory program
office the health effects data on air
pollutants emitted from mobile
sources. These data are used by the
office to determine whether any
regulatory action is required to
protect the public from these
emissions. In the near future, the
principal activity of the program is to
obtain a health effects data base on
diesel exhaust products. The
program office will use this data base
to tell industry whether large
numbers of diesel-powered vehicles
will be permitted on the American
road.

capabilities within the Agency and
develop scientific criteria concerning
the effects of pollutants on ecological
systems and human health. Initial
risk assessment activity will stress the
development of guidelines and
methodologies for Agency-wide use
that determine the potential risk
from exposure to specific pollutants.
A primary objective is to provide a
central focal point for quality control
of all Agency risk assessment activ-
ities. Following guidelines
development, a review and oversight
activity will be implemented to insure
uniformity consistency and
comparability of the assessments
done by other Agency offices. Risk
assessments will be developed for the
program offices upon their request.
Targeted areas for assessment
include exposure, and carcinogenic,
reproductive,, and other chronic
effects. Criteria development on
pollutant effects will be conducted in
response to program office needs and
will take the form of criteria docu-
ments, health assessments and
special reports.

Characterization and
Measurement Methods
Development
The objective of this program is to
provide sample collection and
analysis methods for the identifica-
tion and measurement of chemical
constitutents in water, sludge,
sediment, leachate, and soil. These
methods must be consistent with
requirements for sensitivity
demanded by users who art, in the
research and the operations'
communities. The methods are to be
applicable to organic compounds,
chemical elements, different
inorganic species of the same
elements, and to classes of
substances, without necessarily
identifying or measuring specific
constituents. The methods are also to
be applicable to constituents in
suspended particulates as well as

Chesapeake Bay Program
This decision unit is concerned with
determining what stresses on the Bay
ecosystem may he anticipated in both
the near and distant future,
identifying existing programs that
address the needs of the Bay users,
and developing and implementing
(where needs remain unmet) the
programs necessary to meet these
prioritized needs. Recognizing that a
significant amount of information
relating to major environmental
problems does exist, but that there
are specific aspects of environmental
stress which EPA and other federal,
state and local governments,
scientists, and the Bay community
agree should be investigated
immediately, the Program will
conduct research and abatement
programs for a select number of
priority environmental problem
areas. Studies are conducted in the
following areas: (I) research on
rooted aquatics, toxics, and
eutrophication in the Bay; (2) defini-
tion of the Bay user categories; and
(3) classification of the needs of the
Bav users.

Monitoring Methods
and Systems
This program is involved with the
adaptation of currently available or
proposed methods and measure-
ment systems to monitor water
quality. Analytical methods and
measurement systems often are ill-
suited for application to field
environmental monitoring because
they are developed by manufacturers
or research institutions. Consider-
able work is needed to evaluate,
modify, and adapt instruments or
methods for application in the field.
An important function of the unit is
the establishment of guidelines for
the systematic monitoring of water
quality. This activity should improve
monitoring of water quality and
assure that the monitoring data so
obtained are reliable.

ORD's Extramural
Program
While some of the research funded
for fiscal year 1980 will be done in-
house by ORD's staff, much of the
research will be accomplished by
grant/ cooperative agreement or
contract. To explain how each of
these is used, a brief discussion
follows.
Contracts
A contract is used (I) whenever the
principal purpose of the instrument
is the acquisition, by purchase, lease,
or barter, of property or services for
the direct benefit or use of the
Federal Government; or (2) when*
ever an executive agency determines
in a specific instance that the use of a
type of procurement contract is
appropriate.
All planned contracting is carried out
competitively with notices of the
availablity of Request for Proposal
(RFP) documents publicly
advertised. Unsolicited contract
proposals should not be submitted
for such reports. The review/
selection procedures followed may
vary slightly from project to project,
but all pertinent information regard-
ing both the project objectives and
criteria for evaluation of proposals
will be included in each RFP
package. The Laboratory Director
should not be contacted for
information on contracts that have
been advertised since such
communication may conflict with
Federal Procurement Regulations
and could serve to disqualify a
prospective contractor from further
consideration.
Solicited Contract
Proposals
Requests for Proposals (RFP's) for
all planned contracts will be
advertised in the Commerce
Business Daily issued by the U.S.
Department of Commerce. A
subscription to this publication may
be obtained from the Superintendent
of Documents, Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC 20402.
These advertisements will provide
instructions for obtaining RFP
packages from EPA's Contracts
Management Division. Each RFP
package will include detailed
information describing the form and
context of proposals to be submitted
as well as the required time and place
of submission.
EPA's Contracts Management
Division publishes "Selling to EPA"
to assist the business community in
its efforts to find new markets in the
Environmental Protection Agency.
This publication includes the names
and addresses of contracting offices
in EPA and the Office of Research
and Development laboratories, the
types of products and services
procured, general information about
the Agency, and hints to aid
businessmen in selling to EPA.
Unsolicited Contract
Proposals
While most of ORD's contract
research and demonstration is
conducted through the use of RFP's
to solicit proposals, contracts can
also be awarded on the basis of
unsolicited proposals which meet the
79
-------
sole-source requirements of the
Federal Procurement Regulations.
Unsolicited contract proposals
should be addressed to the Grants
Administration Division (PM-216),
Environmental Protection Agency,
Washington, DC 20460. While no
specific format is required, such
proposals should generally contain:
I. Name, address and telephone
number of the organization or
individual submitting the
proposal.
2. Date of preparation or submis-
sion.
3. Type of organization (profit, non-
profit, educational, individual,
other).
4. Concise title.
5. Project objective.
6. Need, utility and significance of
project.
7. Scope of work, i.e., an outline and
discussion of the purpose of
proposed effort of activity, the
method of attacking the problem,
and nature and extent of antici-
pated results.
8. Experimental data developed by
feasibility studies previously
completed.
9. Estimated duration of the project,
proposed starting and completion
dates.
10. Scientific or technical references.
11. Names of key personnel to be
involved, brief biographical
information, including principal
publications and relevant
experience.
12. Equipment, facilities
personnel requirements.
and
13. Proposed budget, including
separate cost estimates for
salaries and wages, equipment,
expendable supplies, services,
travel, subcontracts, other direct
costs and overhead.
EPA's Appropriation Act
specifically provides that cost
snaring must be included in contracts
resulting from proposals for projects
not specifically solicited. The extent
of the cost sharing by the recipient
will be decided after the proposal has
been reviewed and determined to be
of mutual interest to the grantee or
contractor and the government.
The material submitted should
contain both a technical and a
business proposal. The technical
proposal should clearly define the
unique concept involved (as required
for sole-source procurements) and
include a plan for turning the concept
into reality. It is suggested that the
technical proposal identify any
proprietary aspects of the proposed
ideas or process. The business
proposal should include a detailed
cost proposal, information
concerning past Government
contracts, and any special terms and
conditions desired.

ORD Assistance Program
Grant Agreements
A grant is to be used when (1) the
principal purpose of the relationship
is the transfer of money, property,
services or anything of value to the
State or local government or other
recipient in order to accomplish a
public purpose of support or
stimulation authorized by Federal
statute, rather than acquisition, by
purchase, lease, or barter, of
property or services for the direct
benefit or use of the Federal
Government; and (2) no substantial
involvement is anticipated between
the executive agency, acting for the
Federal Government, and the State
or local government or other
recipient during performance of the
contemplated activity.
Grant allocations wilt be made by a
new office to be established in ORD
Headquarters. The primary area of
grant concern is in anticipatory or
exploratory research. Topics of
special interest will be announced in
flyers.
Cooperative Agreements
A cooperative agreement is used in
lieu of a grant when (1) the principal
purpose of the relationship is the
transfer of money, property, services,
or anything of value to the State or
local government or other recipient
to accomplish a public purpose of
support or stimulation authorized by
Federal statute, rather than
acquisition, by purchase, lease, or
barter, of property or services for the
direct benefit or use of the Federal
Government; and (2) substantial
involvement is anticipated between
the executive agency, acting for the
Federal Government, and the State
or local government or other
recipient during performance of the
contemplated activity.
Prior to applying for a cooperative
agreement, contact with the
cognizant Laboratory Director is
encouraged. This will allow for the
development of the appropriate
relationship between the recipient of
the agreement and ORD.
Until the following new procedures
can be implemented, applications for
both grants and cooperative
agreements should be submitted
according to the instructions on
the inside front cover.
Notice of Change in
Procedures for Grants
and Cooperative
Agreements
Effective October I, 1979, The Office
of Research and Development is
implementing the recommendations
of an internal Grant Procedures
Review Group. The Group reviewed
the recommendations of previous
ORD operational studies and
recommended a number of
comprehensive changes in ORD's
grant research proposal solicitation.
review, management and award
processes. These changes will be
incorporated in ORD's administra-
tive regulations. 40 CFR Part 40.
Briefly Summarized, these changes
are as follows:
• Central point of contact. ORD will
establish a new office at HQ EPA,
Washington. This office will serve
as a central point of contact for
interested researchers who desire
additional information on funds
available, programs or projects of
EPA interest, or application.
-------
procedures. It will also be tasked
with managing ORD's grant
program and a new peer review
process for research proposals.
• Expanded solicitation. ORD is
broadening its research base by
encouraging a greater number of
applications for research funding
assistance. Special encouragement
is extended to scientists who have
not previously received ORD
extramural funding assistance,
and qualified minority and female
researchers. ORD is developing a
program solicitation system
utilizing "flyers," the Federal
Register," ihe Commerce Business
Daily and other media of interest
to the scientific community.
• Proposal/Application Review.
ORD is changing its current
system of ad hoc or mail review of
proposals to a centralized peer
review process similar to that used
by the National Institutes of
Health. Reviews will be scheduled
on a quarterly or as needed basis.
The review process may include
site visits or ad hoc review in
special cases. Also subject to this
peer review will be a sampling of
requests for a continuation or
funding increase of ongoing
projects.
• Grant vs. Cooperative Agreement.
The decision to fund or reject will
be based on peer review ranking,
ORD research needs and prior-
ities, and available resources.
Acceptable applications which are
neither funded or rejected may be
held for possible funding for up to
six months.
Decision Official:
Grants—ORD Headquarters
Grants Office
Cooperative Agreements—
Responsible Laboratory
Director
It is anticipated that most
cooperative agreements will be
developed in consultation with ORD
laboratory scientists or through
solicitations. Instructions on the use
of the new award procedures, and
instruments are being developed. In
the meantime, researchers should
apply under the procedures
described below:
• Reporting Requirements. Grant
awards will require an annual and
final report upon completion of
the project. Cooperative agree-
ments will require a final report
and other reporting requirements
as may be determined by the ORD
laboratory decision official at the
time of award. Selected grant and
cooperative agreement awardees
may be requested to present
project results at periodic seminars
conducted by ORD.

Grant or Cooperative
Agreement Applications
Pre-application
Activity
Although grant or cooperative
agreement applications may be
submitted at any time and on any
subject, applicants should take the
following actions prior to submission
of a formal grant application in order
to save time and effort both for the
applicant and EPA.
1. Review ORD's current research
program, as described in Part I, to
determine if funds are available in
the specific area of interest; and
2. Contact the appropriate research
and development personnel cited
to ascertain if an assistance
project is planned prior to the
submission of an official applica-
tion.

3. Submission of a preapplication is
also strongly encouraged. The
preapplication should be sent
directly to the Grants Administra-
tion Division (PM-216), U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency, Washington,D.C 20460,
for initial screening and routing to
the appropriate ORD program
personnel. A preapplication
should normally consist of a
three- or four-page narrative
outlining the project concept and
containing the following informa-
tion:
1. Objective—a clear statement
of the specific objective is
necessary. If the objective is
designed to fulfill a specific
project (as identified in Step I
above), the project should be
identified. If the objective
cannot be associated with any
specific project, some state-
ment of the presumed value to
EPA of attaining the research
objective should be made.
2. Project Plan—a brief descrip-
tion of the research /develop-
ment /demonstration concept
and the plan for execution of
the proposed project,
including a projected time-
schedule for accomplishments
of intermediate outputs or key
occurrences indicating
progress (milestones) and the
final objective.
3. Budget—a preliminary esti-
mate of total cost which will be
incurred in order to complete
the project. Also, the share of
the costs which will be pro-
vided by the applicant should
be indicated.
4. Staff and Facilities—a brief
listing of key project staff and
capabilities and a brief descrip-
tion of any special facilities or
other factors which would
contribute to the success of the
project. A single person who
83
-------
will have the responsibility for
planning, coordinating, and
supervising the project should
be identified along with the
fraction of his time to be
devoted to the project.
Following review and evaluation of
the preapplication, the prospective
applicant will be advised whether
(aj an application should be
submitted for formal review, (b) sub-
mission of a modified preapplication
is suggested, (c) possible submission
of the preapplication to another
Agency, Department, or source of
funds is suggested, or (d) further
pursuit of the particular topic is
discouraged.
Formal Applications
Ail formal grant and cooperative
agreement applications are to be
submitted to the Grants Administra-
tion Division, Environmental
Protection Agency, Washington,
D.C. 20460. After formal "logging
in" and acknowledgement, those
applications falling within the Office
of Research and Development's
purview are referred to the
appropriate ORD program office for
program relevance review. This
review quickly screens out those
applications for which EPA has no
authority. For those proposals in
which ORD has an interest,
scientific/technical merit reviews are
then conducted. Comments may also
be obtained from the Regional Office
in the Region where the applicant is
located and where the project would
be conducted to determine the
relationship of the proposed project
to Regional programs and policies.
