| The Regional Research Partnership Program (RRPP) is designed to provide short-term training opportunities (up to 6 months) for regional technical staff to work directly with ORD scientists in the ORD laboratories and centers. The goals in establishing this formal professional development opportunity are to:
- Establish linkages between regional technical staff and colleagues in ORD laboratories and centers, through short-term collaborative research efforts that foster the development of long-term relationships in support of regional science needs and ORD research objectives;
- Establish a formal professional development opportunity for regional technical staff that is based on a competitive process, provides recognition of achievement, and offers an opportunity to perform field or laboratory research in their discipline; and,
- Assist the regions in succession planning and maintenance of the technical training of their staff
