About the Sustainable and Healthy Communities Research Program
What We Do
EPA’s Sustainable and Healthy Communities (SHC) Research Program takes a systems approach to integrate the full range of available data from public health, physical, natural, and social sciences, toxicology, engineering, and ecosystems research to support Agency priorities and empower communities to make scientifically informed decision. Research is done with and for communities to improve their access to clean air, water, and land for increased health and well-being where people live, learn, work, and play.
