2013 Events
Title: | Extreme Events Kick-off Meeting |
Date: | February 26 - 27, 2013 |
Location: | First Floor Conference Center EPA Potomac Yard South 2777 Crystal Dr. Arlington, Virginia |
Purpose: | EPA is pleased to present 14 newly awarded grantee projects on climate-induced changes in extreme events in the context of air and water quality management. A goal of this research funding is to seek a better understanding of the hazards (the extreme events) and to establish ways for climate scientists, impact assessment modelers, air and water quality managers, and other stakeholders to co-produce information necessary to form sound policy in relation to extreme events and their impact on air and water quality under a changing climate. Researchers from across the country will present their research plans and early results. |

Date: | March 13, 2013 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. EDT |
||||||||||
Location: | Webinar | ||||||||||
Purpose: | For many reasons, children are likely to be more vulnerable than adults to the effects of environmental contaminants. To better understand the effects of these exposures on children's health, the Centers for Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research ("Children's Centers") were established in 1998 to explore ways to reduce children's health risks from environmental factors. The program is jointly funded by EPA through the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grants program, and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) with additional expertise and low-cost laboratory services provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The long-range goals of the program include understanding how environmental factors affect children's health, and promoting translation of basic research findings into intervention and prevention methods to prevent adverse health outcomes. The program is designed to foster research collaborations among basic, clinical, and behavioral scientists with participation from local communities. Many factors are examined that may impact a child’s health and well-being including physiology, activities and behaviors and both chemical and non-chemical stressors. Researchers at the Children's Centers continue to publish significant research results increasing awareness and making a difference in quality of life and our environmental impact awareness. This Webinar series is designed to share research progress and significant findings from the Childrens Centers. Featured Speakers:

Title: | Coarse PM Final Progress Review & Aero-allergens |
Date: | March 18, 2013 8:30am - 4:30pm EDT |
Location: | Webinar EPA Research Triangle Park Auditorium C111(A-C) |
Purpose: | Previously, there has been a lack of published studies investigating the associations of mortality and morbidity with coarse particulate matter (PM10-2.5) and addressing the effects of different components or sources of these particles. The composition and toxicity of coarse PM likely vary significantly across locations with large differences between urban and rural regions because of a variety of different sources (e.g. pollen, endotoxin, road dust, agriculture, mining) and difficulties in estimating risks and exposure estimates. In 2007, the National Center for Environmental Research awarded five STAR grants for research studies to improve understanding of the composition, sources, and health effects of urban and rural coarse PM, which includes particles in the size range from 2.5 to 10 micrometers in diameter. This meeting will include presentations and discussions of the final results from these STAR grantees and EPA scientists. For more details on the STAR grants, see: Sources, Composition, and Health Effects of Coarse Particulate Matter. |

Title: | 2013 Spring National SBIR/STTR Conference |
Date: | May 13 - 16, 2013 |
Location: | Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center 201 Waterfront Street National Harbor, MD 20745 |
Purpose: | The National Innovation Summit and Showcase (NISS), May 13-16, 2013 in Washington DC. NISS is designed to accelerate the commercialization of American innovation by providing the world's largest on-site matchmaking program with investors and corporate development partners and attracts over 3,500 attendees to its annual conference. The SBIR and STTR programs are the largest source of federal funding - over $2 Billion annually - for small high tech firms. This new event format efficiently combines both events; it’s an ideal opportunity for you to speak directly to those from the public and private sector looking to invest in innovative technologies. This event is structured to cater to everyone from the SBIR beginner to the veteran firm. Both federal agency SBIR and Tech-Transfer offices will be participating. Together the two events will offer a variety of sessions both technical and informational, one-on-one opportunities with the SBIR PM’s, display booths and unique programs like the NISS-SBIR Commercialization Acceleration Program. Three special registration options have been established for the SBIR and STTR community.
