Science Advisory Board's Initiation of a Series of Scientific Reviews of Agency Research Programs

摘要

The Science Advisory Board's (SAB) reviews of research programs have focused both the Board's and the Environmental Protection Agency's thinking on research plans and needs to a degree never before achieved through preparation and review of the Five Year Research and Development Plan (Research Outlook). The Board believes that its extensive research program reviews fulfill the spirit and intent of Congress for SAB oversight of the Agency's research program. Comments on specific issues in the five year plan have also been addressed in individual research program reviews.
