OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR
SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD

EPA-SAB-15-006
The Honorable Gina McCarthy
Administrator
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20460
Subject: Additional SAB Recommendations for EPA's FY2013 Scientific and Technological
Dear Administrator McCarthy:
The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) is pleased to transmit its additional recommendations for the
EPA's FY 2013 Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards (STAA). EPA's STAA program
was established by the agency in 1980 to recognize EPA employees who have made outstanding
contributions to the advancement of science and technology through their publications in peer-reviewed
literature or books. Each year since the early 1980's, the SAB has been asked by EPA's Office of
Research and Development (ORD) to review EPA's nominated scientific publications and make
recommendations to the EPA for awards.
In July 2013, ORD submitted to the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office 105 nominations
for 2013 STAA awards in 14 possible science and technology categories. On January 13, 2014, the SAB
provided its report to you with recommendations for the EPA's FY 2013 STAA program. In September
2014, the SAB received 15 additional nominations from ORD for review for the 2013 STAA program.
After considering these additional nominations in a separate meeting, the SAB is pleased to transmit its
recommendations for 2013 STAA recognition for these additional nominations. In the enclosed report,
the SAB recommends two for a Level II award and 7 for Honorable Mention.
The SAB recommends that the EPA implement various activities to further strengthen the STAA
program as well as facilitating the SAB review of future STAA nominations. These recommendations
are described in a separate SAB Advisory Report, entitled SAB Recommendations for EPA's FY 2014
Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards.

The SAB applauds the EPA's public recognition of the scientific work of EPA scientists and engineers
that is published in the peer-reviewed literature, and is pleased to continue to play an important role in
the STAA program.

1. BACKGROUND AND SAB REVIEW PROCEDURE
1.1.	Background
EPA's Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards program (STAA) was established in 1980 to
recognize the agency's scientists and engineers who published their technical work in the peer-reviewed
literature. The STAA program is administered and managed by the EPA Office of Research and
Development (ORD). Each year, the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) has been asked to review the
EPA's nominated scientific publications and make recommendations for awards. The SAB was charged
to review nominations and provide recommendations for each nomination in consideration of the EPA's
criteria for STAA awards. The EPA announced the call for nominations for the 2013 STAA program to
senior managers and employees in January 2013. ORD screened nominations for conformance with
EPA's STAA Nomination Procedures and Guidelines. The Guidelines describe the award levels,
eligibility criteria, and the award criteria.
The SAB Staff Office formed a new SAB STAA Committee in 2012 to annually review EPA's STAA
nominations. The Committee members were invited to serve for a three-year term. The Committee was
formed in accordance with the SAB process as described in the SAB 2002 publication, Panel Formation
Process: Immediate Steps to Improve Policies and Procedures (EPA-SAB-EC-COM-02-003).
In July 2013, ORD submitted to the SAB Staff Office 105 nominations for 2013 STAA awards in 14
possible science and technology categories. On January 13, 2014, SAB submitted its report (EPA-SAB-
14-002) with recommendations for the EPA's FY 2013 STAA program. The SAB excluded two
nominations from consideration since they did not meet the eligibility criteria. Of the 103 remaining
nominations, the SAB recommended no nominations for Level I, the highest award; 8 for Level II; 27
for Level III, and 38 for Honorable Mention.
In September 2014, ORD submitted 15 additional nominations to the SAB for review and consideration
for 2013 STAA recognition. The SAB excluded one of the 15 additional nominations from review since
it was considered previously for 2013 STAA recognition.
1.2.	SAB Review Procedure
The EPA's criteria for STAA Program awards are as follows:
•	Level I awards are for nominees who have accomplished an exceptionally high-quality research
or technological effort. The nomination should recognize the creation or general revision of a
scientific or technological principle or procedure, or a highly significant improvement in the
value of a device, activity, program, or service to the public. It must be at least of national
significance or have high impact on a broad area of science/technology. The nomination must be
of far reaching consequences and recognizable as a major scientific/technological achievement
within its discipline or field of study.
•	Level II awards are for nominees who have accomplished a notably excellent research or
technological effort that has qualities and values similar to, but to a lesser degree, than those
described under Level I. It must have timely consequences and contribute as an important
scientific/technological achievement within its discipline or field of study.
1

-------
•	Level III awards are for nominees who have accomplished an unusually notable research or
technological effort. The nomination can be for a substantial revision or modification of a
scientific/technological principle or procedure, or an important improvement to the value of a
device, activity, program, or service to the public. It must relate to a mission or organizational
component of the EPA, or significantly affect a relevant area of science/technology.
•	Honorable Mention is for nominations which are noteworthy but which do not warrant a Level I,
II or III award. Honorable Mention applies to nominations that: (1) may not quite reach the level
described for a Level III award; (2) show a promising area of research that the SAB wants to
encourage; or (3) show an area of research that the SAB believes is too preliminary to warrant an
award recommendation at this time.
The SAB review consisted of a two-step process: an initial review of each nomination, followed by a
Committee discussion of all nominations. The initial review of each nomination was conducted by two
members. Committee members provided their individual initial ratings of the nominations based on the
EPA's award criteria as described above.
The SAB STAA Committee met at a closed teleconference on November 7, 2014, to develop
recommendations to the EPA Administrator regarding these additional 2013 STAA nominations.
The teleconference was closed to the public because the Committee discussions involved personnel
matters, including the relative merits of various employees and their respective work, the disclosure of which
would be a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and, therefore, protected from disclosure by
section (c)(6) of the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). Committee members discussed
all of the 14 additional nominations, and reached consensus on the recommendations for awards. To
avoid an appearance of a lack of impartiality, one member was recused from the Committee
deliberations on one nomination. The Committee's recommendations were discussed and agreed upon
by consensus by the chartered SAB during a closed meeting on January 26, 2015.

2. COMPARISON OF AWARD RECOMMENDATIONS OVER TIME
Table 1 summarizes the awards recommended by year since 2000 (including the initial and additional
recommendations for 2013, and a final summary of 2013 recommendations).
For the additional 14 STAA recommendations for 2013, the Committee recommended no nominations
for Level I, the highest award; 2 for Level II; none for Level III, and 7 for Honorable Mention. Section 3
lists the recommended awards for Level II and nominations that deserve an Honorable Mention for the
2013 additional nominations. The final rankings were agreed to by consensus at the STAA Committee
teleconference on November 7, 2014. The Committee's recommendations were discussed and agreed
upon by consensus by the chartered SAB during a closed meeting on January 26, 2015.
