Why is it important?
It’s important because the EPA’s research office provides independent science that keeps us safe, helps prevent the next disaster instead of just reacting, and ensures the U.S. leads in protecting health, the environment, and innovation.
Perspectives
EPA’s researchers are among the most talented scientists in the world. If we close the door on them now, we give up one of the greatest assets we have for leading the world in science and keeping our families safe.
