The Office of Research and Development’s (ORD) Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships program supports research and development to: (1) determine the environmental effects of air quality, drinking water, water quality, climate change, hazardous waste, toxic substances, and pesticides; (2) identify, develop, and demonstrate effective pollution control techniques to prevent, reduce, and eliminate pollution; (3) support risk assessments to characterize the potential adverse health effects of human exposures to environmental hazards; and (4) facilitate training and program participant support in these areas. This program may also implement special Congressionally directed projects or programs identified in EPA's annual appropriations act or committee reports incorporated by reference into the annual appropriation act. Awards made under this program further EPA’s priorities supporting robust science for air, climate, and energy; safe and sustainable water resources; sustainable and healthy communities; chemical safety; and health and environmental risk assessment.
