Cooperative Training Partnership in Environmental Health Sciences Research

archived

The mission of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is to protect human health and the environment. The EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) conducts timely mission-relevant solution-oriented research based on the principles of integrity, sustainability, and responsiveness to the needs of the Nation. The research products and outputs are utilized by the EPA to better determine toxicological hazards, define dose-response relationships, and estimate human exposure characteristics in support of the Agency’s responsibility to provide risk assessment, policy analysis, regulatory standards for environmental hazards, and contribute to sustainable solutions to the Nation’s greatest environmental concerns. EPA’s ORD seeks applications to enter into cooperative agreements that will provide training opportunities for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows on-site at EPA’s Research Triangle Park and/or Chapel Hill, North Carolina research facilities.
