EPA continues to provide strong support for research addressing the Nation’s most critical environmental issues, which are becoming increasingly complex. Three major highlights include:

• Nanotechnology (+ $4.5 M)

$4.5 M increase for a total of $14.9 M for strengthening understanding of health and ecological implications arising from new routes of exposure and/or toxicities associated with exposure to these novel materials; identifying and developing risk assessment methodologies for use by agency risk assessors; and evaluating the adequacy of current exposure assessment approaches.

• Homeland Security (+ $6.3) Efforts will focus on biodefense research, including

sampling and risk assessment methods and models. Increased resources also will assist in determining the best standards and technologies for field assessments.

• Computational Toxicology (+ $2.7 M)

Requests a total of $14.9M to improve the Agency’s ability to more efficiently understand chemicals’ toxicity through advanced modeling. This work also reduces the need to use animals in toxicity testing.
