Videos: EPA ORD Collaborations with State Partners

EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) works cooperatively with the states and territories to provide the science to support our mission to protect human health and the environment. These videos highlight examples of how ORD research and technical assistance, in partnership with states and regions, helped tackle environmental challenges and deliver the solutions they need.

For more examples on how our state, tribal, territorial and local partners are using EPA research and collaborating with ORD, view the EPA Research Partner Support Stories.
