Research Milestones

  • EPA Research Milestones

    Each year, our researchers build on more than 50 years of science to protect the environment and public health. We work with states, tribes, and communities to provide the tools and resources they need. Year after year, we conduct innovative science to address our nation's top environmental priorities.

Since 1970 when the EPA was established, the Agency's researchers and partners have provided the data, knowledge, and tools needed to tackle the most pressing environmental and related health challenges the nation has faced. On this page, you'll find links to milestones and other resources grouped by research area.
