The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Committee on Environmental and Natural Resources (CENR) is charged with improving coordination among Federal agencies involved in environmental and natural resources research and development, establishing a strong information-transfer link between science and policy, and developing a Federal environmental and natural resources research and development strategy that responds to national and international issues. There are five research subcommittees under the CENR:
- Air Quality
