Previous Strategic Research Action Plans Fiscal Years 2012-2022

Every four years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency works in partnership to prepare Strategic Research Action Plans (StRAPs) for each of its six national research programs. Each StRAP identifies Agency research goals and presents a roadmap to keep the Agency on track and accountable to meet those goals.

The current plan (2023–2026) is the fourth to be developed. The previous StRAPs covered FYs 2012-2016, 2016-2019 and 2019-2022. The previous StRAPs can be found  here:
