INTRODUCTION
During the past year many noteworthy events took
place in the Environmental Protection Agency's Office
of Research and Development. The most significant event
was the appointment of a new Assistant Administrator for
Research and Development, Dr. Wilson K. Talley. The
second major event was the reorganization of OR&D. Through
all this change, the Region I Office of Research and
Development has maintained its ongoing program of acting
as the extension of OR&D in the region. We continue to
inform the user community of past, ongoing, and contemplated
research activity, and to assist the users in every way
possible for maximizing contact with OR&D in Washington, D.C.
and the various EPA laboratories.
A bibliography of OR&D research reports is published
periodically and can be obtained from our office upon
request. Some of the recent research reports are also
available for distribution. A complete set of reports
is available in the EPA-Region I library.
A report which may be helpful as an initial introduction
to the grants and contracts system is entitled EXPRO, a
listing of extramural projects to be funded in the fiscal
year. EXPRO outlines procedures for application for
grant and contract support and also lists specific program
-1-
-------
areas which OR&D is funding. EXPRO may be obtained from
headquarters or our office. Additionally, we encourage
the research community to get in touch with the regional
office about specific details on current OR&D procedures
and objectives. This information can often save time and
effort for the applicant by highlighting recent changes
that may have occurred in the R&D program.
-2-
-------
OR&D REORGANIZATION
Dr. Wilson K. Talley, a nuclear physicist, was
appointed Assistant Administrator for Research and
Development in January 1975, leaving his former position
as Study Director of the Commission on Critical choices
for Americans. Dr. Talley has reorganized OR&D to
simplify and streamline program planning and implementation.
Headquarters activity will be focused on long range planning
and review, and coordination within and outside of EPA.
The fifteen field laboratories will be directly involved
with program implementation.
Because the reorganization of the Office of Research
and Development has been so extensive, we felt it would
be helpful to include an organization chart for ready
reference (Figure I).
OR&D will now consist of four program offices: the
Office of Monitoring and Technical Support; Office of
Energy, Minerals and Industry; Office of Air, Land and
Water Uses; and Office of Health and Ecological Effects.
The Office of Monitoring and Technical Support plans
and manages technical support for program and regional
offices in areas of advanced monitoring systems, equipment
and techniques, and quality assurance. It is responsible
-3-
-------
for transfer of technology and information generated
by OR&D to user communities. It also manages laboratory
and staff development programs, as well as such programs
as Minority Institutions Research Support.
The Office of Energy, Mineral Resources, and Industry
plans and manages programs related to the environmental
aspects of energy, mineral and industrial resources devel-
opment. It also is responsible for assessing the environmental
impact of developing and using energy, mineral, and
industrial resources, including economic and siting
considerations. It will identify, develop, demonstrate
and assess suitable control technologies.
The Office of Land, Water and Air Use plans and manages
programs in areas of land, air and water quality. It is
responsible for such problem areas as waste disposal,
water supply, agricultural chemicals, urban air and noise
pollution, recreational problems, land use, and toxic and
hazardous materials. It will manage research on pollutant
characterization and transport, and advanced measurement
techniques, equipment and procedures.
The Office of Health and Ecological Effects plans and
manages research programs on long and short term effects
of pollutants and classes of pollutants, acting singly or in
-4-
-------
combination, on man and his environment. This office will
also identify, develop and evaluate data for the
establishment of environmental quality standards and
guidelines. It will also conduct broad multimedia and
intermedia studies including socioeconomic effects.

OR&D BUDGET
OR&D funds have varied slightly from year to year
since EPA was first established. However, the surfacing
of the energy crisis caused a significant jump in funding
for energy related research in the last two years (Table 1).
The FY75 budget for research in EPA was $284 million. Of this
allocation, $130 million was for energy research and
$154 million was for the remainina OR&D programs.
The budget for energy "research was divided between control
technology ($81 million) and health and ecological effects
($49 million).
Distribution of the total resources for the year was
twenty-four percent for inhouse research, 53 percent for
extramural grants and contracts, and 23 percent was shared
with other Federal agencies through interagency agreements.
During the year, the House Subcommittee on the
Environment held hearings on OR&D funds and voted to restore
twenty-five million dollars to the FY75 budget. Of this
amount, the major portion, $10 million, was allocated for
research on cost reduction in construction and operation
of municipal treatment plants. The other major allocation
of $8 million went for research on stationary source control
technology and emissions from catalytic converters.

OTHER FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH PROGRAMS
EPA supports slightly less than one fifth of the
environmental research funded by the Federal government.
Other agencies involved with environmental research include
the Departments of Interior, Defense, Commerce, Agriculture,
Transportation, Health, Education and Welfare, and Housing
and Urban Development, the National Science Foundation and
National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The event of the year for the research community was
the establishment of the Energy Research and Development
Administration (ERDA) on January 19, 1975, in accordance
with provisions of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974.
Dr. Robert C. Seamans, Jr., was appointed administrator
of this agency.
The program areas of research in ERDA are: (1) fossil
energy, (2) nuclear energy, (3) conservation, (4) national
security, (5) solar, geothermal and' advanced energy systems,
and (6) environment and safety.
Although some major programs from several agencies were
$28 million
$6 million
$11 million
$6 million
$3 million
$6 million
-9-
-------
merged to form ERDA, EPA was required to transfer only its
new automotive power systems and alternate fuel programs
which included the $5 million allocated for this research.
Of the $3.6 billion budget for FY75, ERDA received the
major portion from its predecessor the Atomic Energy Commission.
Guidance for preparing proposals you may wish to submit
to ERDA is provided by two publications: (1) "Guide
for Submission of Research Proposals from Educational
Institutions," U.S. AEC, September 1972, and (2) "Guide
for the Submission of Research and Development Proposals,
Individuals and Organizations." These publications may
be requested from Proposal Processing Office, ERDA, Room 1114,
1800 G Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. 20545.
If you have questions concerning ERDA or other Federal
agencies involved with environmental research, and are unable
to obtain the information on your own, our office will do
our best to assist you in obtaining answers to your requests.

OR&D IN REGION I
The research community in Region I is one of the most
highly respected in the country. EPA recognizes the wealth
of experience and knowledge of these researchers and
because of this, although New England is among the smallest
of the ten regions, it has one of the highest levels of
EPA research grant and contract funding.
In order to facilitate review of funding and to provide
immediate reference to the grants and contracts which have
been awarded to Region I. figures and tables have been
prepared, and appendices are included that list the grants
and contracts.
Table II lists the total amounts of R&D grant and
contract awards to all regions during fiscal year 1974 and
Figure II illustrates the results graphically. Awards of
$12,157,832 to Region I comprised 11 percent of the national
total. Based on the 1970 census, Region I had the highest
per capita award, which was $1.03. We anticipate that at the
present level of funding activity, FY75 should be even more
successful for Region I.
Table III and Figure III breakdown Region I's total awards
by state. The proportions of these awards can be seen in
Figure III. Massachusetts had the highest total of state
-11-
-------
awards, followed by Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine and
Vermont. Although New Hampshire is shown as not having
received research funds in FY74, several excellent proposals
are being reviewed and we feel confident this lack of funding
will be corrected soon.
Totals for research and development grants awarded in
Region I during fiscal years 19 7 3 and 1974 are contained
in Table IV. There was an overall regional increase of
$218,666 which amounted to an increase of 15 percent. The
actual percentage increase in grant awards was much greater,
but due to rather unusual circumstances one grant was
withdrawn causing a much smaller net increase in grant awards
over the past year. The grant to the Paris-Worcester
Corporation for $299,000 for research on producing paperboard
from a dry-form process using recycled waste without water
was terminated after only a brief life. The unavailability
of a patented process critical to the project necessitated
termination of the promising research. Figure IV compares the
amount of grants awarded to Region I over the last three years.
The increase in grant funding since 1972 has been 22 percent.
Table V shows state totals for research contracts for
FY73 and FY74. The states fall into the same order with con-
tracts as with grants. Although the increase in contract
funding in FY74 over FY73 was 12.8 percent, over the last
-12-
-------
three years the increase has been 88 percent. This increase
is shown graphically in Figure V. The substantial increase
in contracts reflects a change in emphasis in OR&D in FY73 as
more research was carried out under contract rather than
grant agreements.
Appendices I and II list the titles and recipients of
grant and contract awards in Region I during fiscal year 1974.
The length of project time may vary, but in all cases the
amount of the award corresponds to the project period listed.
Grant and contract numbers have been included for further
reference or inquiries concerning the projects.
