Science Topics: 2008 SAB Advisory
EPA's Office of Research and Development has requested SAB advice on the future direction of ORD's Particulate Matter Research Centers Program. Since an interim review of the Centers program by the SAB in 2002 was instrumental in providing guidance for the period 2005-2010, ORD has requested additional advice as it plans for the future.
