FOREWORD
The Office of Research and Development's EXtramural PROgram Information Bulletin (EXPRO) is meant
to inform you as to how to "do business" with the Office of Research and Development and to provide you with
a listing of "Tasks" planned to be funded as research and demonstration projects by this Office during each Fiscal
Year.
We greatly need the best available talent of the academic, scientific and industrial community to be applied
to the difficult and complex research problems in the field of environmental quality. It is sometimes difficult
to obtain comprehensive information regarding the research needs and interests of the Environmental Protection
Agency. EPA's EXPRO alleviates this difficulty by providing information to all interested parties regarding the
subjects and goals of individual grant and contract tasks planned for the current Fiscal Year.
Let me emphasize that EXPRO is a "planning document" which is issued even before our annual program
plan has received final approval and often even before our annual appropriations are available. Some Tasks listed
may, therefore, not ultimately be funded. Moreover, because there are inveitable delays in the printing and
distribution of EXPRO, a number of weeks may pass between completion of our detailed program plan and
your receipt of this document. Also, since the funding of "Tasks" is a dyndmic process, we are continuously
awarding grants and contracts in order to meet our goals and objectives. For this reason, some grantees or
contractors may have been selected or some projects may have been deferred during the interim period between
publication and actual receipt. You should recognize, therefore, that the information contained in this publication
will not be completely current.
In order to save you and EPA both time and effort, we urge you to contact the "Cognizant PAM/PED"
listed for each Task in Part II of this document to ascertain which projects remain unfunded prior to submission
of either a formal proposal or preproposal.
Albert C. Trakowski
Acting Assistant Administrator
for Research and Development

OFFICE OF RESEARCH and DEVELOPMENT
EXTRAMURAL PROGRAM INFORMATION BULLETIN
FISCAL YEAR 1975
The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development (OR&D) conducts and
supports research, development and demonstration efforts on a wide variety of subjects primarily related to
pollution sources and effects, environmental sciences and pollution control technology. OR&D also is responsible
for assuring the quality control and standardization of analytical techniques for the detection and quantification
of pollutants of interest to the Environmental Protection Agency as well as promoting, through technology
transfer, the use of new techniques, processes, methodologies, etc., in pollution control.
EPA was formed in late 1970 from programs in a number of executive agencies e.g., the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare (air pollution, solid waste, radiation, water hygiene and noise), the Department
of the Interior (water pollution) and the Department of Agriculture (pesticide regulation). Research and
demonstration grants and contracts were supported by many of the precursor programs under guidelines of their
respective Departments. With the melding of these programs into a single Agency, the extramural activities in
support of research and development have likewise been integrated.
The purpose of EXPRO is two-fold: (1) to acquaint the research and development community with general
guidelines for working with the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development under
grant or contract support, and (2) to make publically available a list of specific grant and contract Tasks which
OR&D plans to fund during the current Fiscal Year. This listing is planned to be issued at the beginning of
each new fiscal year. Addenda to EXPRO, containing the Task Number and page reference of those Tasks for
which a grantee or contractor has not yet been selected, will be issued periodically during the fiscal year. Any
new Research Objective Achievement Plans and/or new Tasks and PAM/PED changes will be included in these
addenda. We believe this will present the most timely and accurate picture of the Tasks for which EPA is seeking
proposals at any given time.
Although grants and contracts are authorized under various pieces of legislation^/, the general procedures
for seeking support have been unified to those discussed below.
Appendix A for citations of legislative authority and the conditions, limitations, etc. related thereto.
-------
PART I
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING GRANT OR CONTRACT
PROJECTS
OR&D Objectives and Organization
The Office of Research and Development establishes its objectives and priorities in response to the over-
all mission and priorities of EPA and is highly mission-oriented, concerned with solving specific priority problems
rather than only advancing scientific knowledge. Although the scopes of OR&D projects may vary from quite
fundamental research to the full-scale engineering demonstration of new pollution control processes, all projects
are directed at meeting specified objectives. Applications may be submitted on any subject at any time, but all
grant and contract proposals will be evaluated in the context of pre-established plans.
The OR&D planning process places program definition responsibility in Headquarters and program
execution responsibility in the National Environmental Research Centers (NERC's) at Cincinnati, Ohio,
Corvallis, Oregon, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina and at the Washington
Environmental Research Center (WERC), Washington, D.C.fl/. In both the program definition and program
execution process, OR&D activities are grouped into a number of discrete subject categories or "Program
Elements". Responsibility for managing all activities within a given set of Program Elements is held by a
designated "Program Area Manager" or "PAM" at Headquarters; for each Program Element, his counterpart
in one of the NERC's or WERC is designated the "Program Element Director" or "PED". The PAM is
responsible for establishing the objectives and priorities within the Program Element, for allocating to the PED
the resources necessary to implement the planned program and for monitoring over-all Program Element
progress. The PED is responsible for project planning and for directing the efforts to achieve assigned objectives
through the use of his own research staff as well as through the development and award of contracts and grants.
Narrative descriptions of all OR&D's Program Elements and the names and locations of corresponding PAM's
and PED's are provided in Part II.
In addition to OR&D's Headquarters and laboratory personnel, each EPA Regional Office employs one
or more staff members designated as Regional Research and Development Representatives. These individuals,
see Appendix C, assist OR&D in identifying research needs of importance within each Region and promulgate
the results of research and development projects among the "user community" both within and outside of EPA.
These Regional R&D Representatives are also generally aware of the activities and objectives of the various
programs of OR&D and can provide much useful information about its method of operation, organization, points
of contact on various subjects, etc.
Appendix B for organizational charts for Headquarters and the four National Environmental Research
Centers and the Washington Bttvifonmental Research Center.
-------
The subject categories or Program Elements into which OR&D's activities fall may be grouped into 11 major
Program Areas.
These Program Areas are:
Health Effects
epidemiological studies, toxicological
research, teratological research, air/water/
radiation/noise quality standards development,
etc.

-------
In addition to the above Program Areas, the Office of Research and Development sponsors a Mmon y
Institutions Research Support Program (MIRS). The MIRS Program seeks and assists minority institutions
establishing interests in the environmental sciences and in developing research capability in these areas. Researc
grants awarded under this program are mission-oriented projects related to specific environmental problems.
Tasks listed in Part II are generally eligible for funding under the MIRS Program. Detailed information on MIRS
can be obtained from the Director, Minority Institutions Research Support Program, Office of Research and
Development, Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C. 20460, telephone (202) 755-0639.
Office of Research and Development's Grant and Contract Activities'^/
As the specific objectives within each Program Element are established, a series of "Tasks" are devised which
will lead to attainment of the various planned objectives. Some of these Tasks will be carried out directly by
EPA's staff while others are planned for accomplishment by grant or contract. Brief descriptions of each of these
grant or contract Tasks are provided in PART II along with the approximate amounts of funds available for
carrying out the grant Tasks and the contract Tasks listed within each Program Element. The expected "funding
mechanism", i.e., grant or contract, and the "legislative authority" under which the work is planned to be done
are also listed. Based upon the Authorizing Legislation Code indicated for each Task, an applicant can determine
from Appendix A what eligibility requirements, cost sharing, funding limitations, etc. will apply.
All planned contracting is carried out competitively with notices of the availability of Request for Proposal
(RFP) documents publicly advertised. Unsolicited contract proposals should not be submitted for such projects.
The review/selection procedures followed may vary slightly from project to project, but all pertinent information
regarding both the project objectives and criteria for evaluation of proposals will be included in each RFP
package. Neither PAM's nor PED's should be contacted for information on individual contract Tasks since such
communication may conflict with Federal Procurement Regulations and could serve to disqualify a prospective
contractor from further consideration.
With regard to all Tasks indicated to be funded by grants, contact with the cognizant PAM or PED is
encouraged. In general, the PAM will be better able to respond to questions relative to over-all Program Element
objectives, long-range planning, and program interactions within EPA while the PED will have more detailed
information on individual Tasks and will, in fact, generally be the individual responsible for making the
award/reject recommendation on individual proposals. Another source of information and assistance,
particularly for general inquiries, is the OR&D Representative in each EPA Regional Office. These individuals
can often give helpful guidance to those who find that their need for information relative to a specific subject
is not satisfied by this document.

'Note: Information on other EPA grant programs is presented in the booklet, "Grant Assistance Programs
of the Environmental Protection Agency", available from EPA's Grants Administration Division, Washington,
DC 20460. Information on contracting procedures and policies is presented in the booklet, "Contracting with
EPA A Guide for Prospective Contractors", available from EPA's Contracts Management Division,
Washington, DC 20460.
-------
Guidelines For Submission Of Grant
Applications Or Contract Proposals
A. Solicited contract proposals -
Requests for Proposals (RFP's) for all planned contract Tasks will be advertised in the Commerce Business
Daily issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce. A subscription to this publication rr;r«y be obtained from
the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402. These
advertisements will provide instructions for obtaining RFP packages from EPA's Contracts Management
Division. Each RFP package will include detailed information on 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 a "Guide for Prospective Contractors" 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, the types of products and
services procured, general information about the Agency, and hints to aid businessmen in selling to EPA.
B. Unsolicited contract proposals -
While most of OR&D's contract research and demonstration is conducted through use of RFP's to solicit
proposals (item A above), contracts can also be awarded on the basis of unsolicited proposals which meet
the 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:
1. Name, address and telephone number of the organization or individual submitting the proposal.
2. Date of preparation or submission.
3. Type of organization (profit, non-profit, educational, individual, other).
4. Concise title.
6. Project objective.
7. Need, utility and significance of project.
8. 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 anticipated results.
9. Experimental data developed by feasibility studies previously completed.
10. Estimated duration of the project, proposed starting and completion dates.
11. Scientific or technical references.
12. Names of key personnel to be involved, brief biographical information, including principal publications
and relevant experience.
13. Equipment, facilities and personnel requirements.
14. Proposed budget, including separate cost estimates for salaries and wages, equipment, expendable
supplies, services, travel, subcontracts, other direct costs and overhead.
-------
The material submitted should contain both a technical and a business proposal. The technical propo
should clearly define the unique concept involved (as required for sole-source procurements) and me
a plan for turning the concept into reality. It is suggested that the technical proposal identify any propne a y
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.
C. Research or demonstration grant applications -
Pre-application activity
Although grant applications may be submitted at any time an on any subject, potential grantees 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 OR&D's current list of grant Tasks to be funded in the specific area of interest (PART II
of this document) to determine whether these objectives match the applicant's research interests and
capabilities: and
2. Contact the appropriate research and development personnel cited in this document to ascertain which
projects remain unfunded prior to submission of an official grant application.
Submission of a preproposal is also strongly encouraged. The preproposal should be sent directly to the
"Cognizant PAM/PED" listed in Part II of this document for review. A preproposal should normally consist
of a three or four-page narrative outlining the project concept and containing the following information:
1. Objective - a clear statement of the specific objective is necessary. If the objective is designed to fulfill
a specific Task or Tasks (as identified in Step 1 above), the Task(s) should be identified. If the objective
cannot be associated with any specific Task, some statement of the presumed value to EPA of attaining
the research objective should be made.
2. Project Plan - a brief description of the research/development/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 estimate of total costs which will be incurred in order to complete the project.
Also, the share of the costs which will be provided by the applicant should be indicated.
4. Staff and Facilities - a brief listing of key project staff and capabilities and a brief description of any
special facilities or other factors which would contribute to the success of the project. A single person
who will have 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 preproposal by the "Cognizant PAM/PED", the prospective
applicant will be advised whether (a) an application should be submitted for formal review, (b) submission
of a modified preproposal is suggested, (c) possible submission of the preproposal to another Agency,
Department, or source of funds is suggested, or (d) further pursuit of the particular topic is discouraged.
-------
Formal applications
All formal grant applications are to be submitted to the Grants Administration Division, Environmental
Protection Agency, Washington, DC 20460. After formal "logging in" and acknowledgement, submissions
are referred to the Office of Research and Development for program relevance review by the cognizant
Program Element Director. This review quickly screens out those applications for which EPA has no
authority or interest or those for which no funds are available. For relevant proposals, scientific/technical
merit reviews are then conducted by both in-house and extramural experts. Extramural reviews are obtained
in the National Science Foundation fashion individual written reviews submitted by mail. Comments
are also obtained from the Regional Office in the Region where the project would be conducted to determine
the relationship of the proposed project to Regional programs and policies.
The individual coordinating the scientific/technical merit review (normally the cognizant PED) assembles
and evaluates both intramural and extramural review comments and prepares a recommendation for action
on each application. The recommendation may be to award a grant, to reject the application, or to attempt
to negotiate with the applicant to modify the scope of work. In those cases where the proposed scope of
work could be modified in order to relate more directly to EPA's objectives and thereby qualify for funding,
direct contact is made with the applicant to determine whether or not acceptable adjustments in the scope
of work can be made.

LISTING OF GRANT AND CONTRACT TASKS
HEALTH EFFECTS PROGRAM AREA
Health effects research is directed toward assessment of health hazards associated with environmental
pollution from a number of media and categories including air, water, pesticides, radiation and noise. Various
disciplines are brought together for this purpose. Major program emphasis is devoted to the Community Health
and Environmental Surveillance Studies (CHESS) Program. CHESS consists of a series of epidemiologic studies
in various communities throughout the United States whose objectives are to evaluate the effects of exposure
to common pollutants upon sensitive health indicators.
Complementing CHESS is the Biomedical Research Program which is directed at assessing, at the
community level, the effects of pollutants upon human physiology. Evaluations of health effects resulting from
community level environmental pollution and classical and innovative toxicologic research studies are conducted.
Scientific information on the health effects associated with exposures to fuels, fuel additives and their combustion
products is collected. Pesticides, radiation and specific toxic substances are evaluated in studies conducted within
this program area.
The cumulative output from all of these programs will provide needed health intelligence required to
formulate environmental policies protective of public health.

ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES AND EFFECTS PROGRAM AREA
The ecological processes and effects research area is responsible for determining the effects of air and water
pollutants on the structure and function of ecosystems and on biotic and abiotic subcomponents of these
CCOSN stems. One major objective of the program is to develop scientific information necessary for water quality
criteria and secondary air quality criteria.
Programs on aquatic systems are conducted to determine the effects of pollutants such as temperature,
pesticides and heavy metals on fresh and marine water fish, invertebrates and their food chain organisms. Acute
and chronic effects of pollutants on life stages of the organisms are determined.
Investigations of the effects of major air pollutants on crops and vegetation are conducted to provide
information for establishing secondary ambient air quality standards. Specific studies of the effects of NOx, SOx,
hydrocarbons, and oxidants are conducted on representative terrestrial ecosystems.
Also included are studies of alternative methods of pest control. These efforts are aimed at the reduction
of dependence upon persistent chemical pesticides. Non-chemical methods of pest control with great specificity
on target organisms and little or no effects on non-target organisms are sought.
A second major objective of this program area is to determine a chemical, physical and biological process
associated with sources, pathways, persistences, and fates of pollutants in ecosystems. The results of these studies
along with results from effects and other research areas provide the scientific and technical basis for control and
abatement actions.

MUNICIPAL POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAM AREA
The Municipal Pollution Control Program Area covers the research, development and demonstration of
new or improved technology applicable to the control and treatment of wastewaters generated in and discharged
from the urban environment. Pertinent technical areas include unit processes and systems applicable to treatment
of municipal sewage to effect the removal of organic materials and other pollutants; control and treatment of
wastewaters discharged from sewer systems carrying both storm water and sewage (combined sewers) and urban
storm water discharges. The entire urban drainage system is, therefore, included in the Municipal Water Control
Technology Program.
Beyond the basic development and demonstration of processes and systems, efforts are also directed to
process control and instrumentation, computerized systems for process simulation and evaluation and non-
pollutional disposal and/or utilization of sludges and concentrated pollutants resulting from treatment.
Several specialized areas of emphasis are included in the Municipal Water Control Technology Area. The
treatment of municipal wastewaters in cold climates (sub-arctic and arctic areas) is one of these. A unique portion
of this cold climate research and development is directed to the provision of effective water supply, wastewater
treatment and general sanitation facilities for native Alaskan villages.
The treatment and utilization of both liquid and solid fractions of wastewater by application to the soil is
a separately identified technical area, as is the improvement of existing and development of new treatment and
disposal methods applicable for individual home use.

NONPOINT POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAM AREA
The Nonpoint Pollution Control Program Area has as its general objective the development of information,
decision-making tools and technology required to: (1) predict and assess the impact of pollutants from nonpoint
sources on waters from various land use patterns; (2) determine the reduction in pollutant load which would
result from implementation of specific nonpoint source controls and the costs of achieving these reductions to
meet established water quality standards; (3) establish limits of reasonable controllability for nonpoint sources
including an assessment of discharges resulting from mans activities and those which would occur in the absence
of man's activities, and (4) establish specific control guidelines for nonpoint sources to serve as the basis for
application of enforceable controls to local conditions.
Specific objectives are to develop cost effective nonpoint management systems, including alternatives
appropriate for implementation in various geographical and geological areas with different climate and rainfall
runoff patterns in the following areas:
(1) Agricultural activities including forestry and logging operations; agricultural runoff; irrigation return
flows; confined animal feeding; aquaculture and disposal of nonagricultural sludges; to crop land. The
development and demonstration mode will emphasize concepts which either maximize the potential for
recycle or reuse (animal wastes, irrigation systems) or minimize adverse impact for "once through" systems
(e.g., pesticide runoff). New and improved management concepts, fertilizer and pesticide formulations and
application methods, and structural and equipment changes will be evaluated.
(2) Control of water pollution from active mining operations including the extraction process and those
cleaning, milling, beneficiation processes necessary to produce a marketable product and abandoned mining
sites. The objective is to allow mining to be carried on in the future without causing environmental
degradation.
(3) Control of water pollution from hydrological modifications such as construction, dredging, landfill and
water resources development. These activities have the common environmental impact of causing substantial
changes in the local or area hydrologic patterns.
(4) Oil and hazardous material spills prevention, control and clean-up. The objective is to develop an array
of countermeasures to contain spills, to prevent them from entering watercourses, and to control and remove
those that reach waters and minimize damage to resources and to the water ecosystem. The variability of
hazardous materials necessitates development of a wide range of countermeasures.

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAM AREA
The primary objective of this program area is to assure the availability of control devices, processes, and
approaches for control of air pollutants at their source. Programs range in scope from basic research and
development activities through the design, construction, and operation of full-scale demonstration systems.
Research, development, and demonstration programs are implemented principally through contracts with
industrial firms and other governmental agencies. Approximately 10% of the research is conducted in in-house
facilities. Portions of the more long-range and fundamental research and development activities are conducted
through research grants with non-profit organizations, principally colleges and universities.
The air pollution control technology activities are currently grouped into four principal areas: (1) sulfur
oxides, (2) nitrogen oxides, (3) particulates, and (4) hazardous and other pollutants.
A major portion of the program is devoted to research and development of technology for the control of
sulfur oxide emissions. Historically, this research has focused on control of sulfur oxide emissions from electric
power generating plants. More recently, increased attention is being given to the control of industrial combustion
and industrial process sources.
Activity on nitrogen oxide control research is expanding rapidly to support control technology needs and
regulatory requirements. The primary thrust of the ongoing nitrogen oxide research and development is in the
area of combustion control. Increasing attention is being given to nitrogen oxide effluent treatment processes.
Paniculate control research and development must cope with the needs for fine particulate control
technology and improved and more economic conventional technologies. Reliable methods for measuring fine
particulate as well as the development of high efficiency methods and equipment for controlling fine particulates
in the 0.05 to 3.0 micron size range are being emphasized.
The hazardous and other pollutant control category embraces control technology for all air pollutants not
classified within one of the above three categories. This includes the development of technology for control of
hydrocarbons from stationary source, halides, and similar pollutants. Special emphasis is being placed on the
control of hazardous and potentially hazardous pollutants including mercury, beryllium, asbestos, cadmium,
vanadium, chromium, lead, etc.

development of a reliable collection
method for water soluble aero-sulfates.
This task will involve a thorough study
of sulfate collection in the presence
of SO2 and other critical pollutants
under varying atmospheric conditions.
This will include coordination and in-
corporation of literature surveys. The
fate of SO2 under a variety of
collection conditions will have to be
determined. Based on these studies, an
efficient and reliable collection device
will be developed, fabricated and fully
evaluated with special emphasis on
preventing catalytic oxidation of SO2
and artifact formation.

be separated from the various interferences
and the final chromogen may have to be
separated from excess reagent. Reliability,
accuracy and sensitivity of the method will
also be tested.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC RESEARCH PROGRAM AREA
The Socio-Economic Research Program Area consists of a program of interdisciplinary research aimed at
the development and demonstration of the analytic and management techniques required to implement Agency
programs at the national, regional and local levels. Such management and analytic tools are necessary to
accomplish and validate Agency policy, strategy, decisions, standards, regulations and plans.
Research is accomplished by teams of professional personnel of various disciplines focused in three general
areas:
(1) Ecological Impact Analysis: Analysis of institutional effects of various environmental policies;
development of comprehensive environmental planning and management capability.
(2) Resource Analysis: Analysis of economic aspects of environmental actions including cost-benefit, cost-
risk benefit and trade-off analysis.
(3) Implementation and Methods Analysis: Development of forecasting capability to enable Agency and
other decision-makers to anticipate long-range impact of human and institutional activities on the environment.
