EPA performs research on many topics related to protecting human health and the environment. Research strategies frame the scientific questions associated with important environmental issues and delineate the research needs and relative priorities required to address those questions. Research plans provide a more detailed description of EPA's research program; they identify outputs and outcomes and provide the link between the research strategy and laboratory implementation plans.
