Response to ERIS 2014 States' Research Needs Survey
Citation:
Matthews, L. Response to ERIS 2014 States' Research Needs Survey. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, 2015.
Impact/Purpose:
Over the past five years, EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) has partnered with the Environmental Council of States (ECOS, the national association of state environmental agency leaders) and its research arm, the Environmental Research Institute of the States (ERIS). ORD shares information on its scientific and technical capabilities with ECOS and ERIS, which, in turn, provide input to make EPA ORD’s tools, methods, models, databases and research useful and practical for the states as they fulfill their environmental responsibilities.
Description:
This document is ORD’s response to the states’ needs and priorities, as identified in the 2014 survey. ORD identified existing methods, models, tools and databases on these topics, as well as near-term research and development efforts, that could assist states in their environmental work. A list of longer-term research and development efforts relevant to state needs is included as an appendix. Where appropriate, links to the tools and research have been provided. If a research report, device or tool is still in development, ORD will provide links when they are available
