EPA’s Office of Research & Development (ORD) will be hosting Tribal Listening Sessions on Cumulative Impacts on September 16th (12-2 PM ET) and September 23rd (3-5 PM ET). ORD would like to better understand the concerns facing tribal environmental, natural resources or health agencies with respect to cumulative impacts. The purpose of these sessions is to give Tribes the opportunity to convey concerns and research interests early in EPA’s research planning process: your input can help inform the research needed to better protect human health and the environment in ways that assess and account for cumulative impacts. ORD looks forward to your participation and to your input, which will be taken under consideration during the development of ORD’s fiscal years 2023-2026 research plans. Please see attachments below for details on the listening sessions.
