Event

The goals of the Symposium are to create a platform for shared information and the exchange of ideas between grantees; create an opportunity for EPA’s scientists to become familiar with the work funded through the STAR grant program and to make important contacts with non-EPA scientists; create the opportunity for STAR grantees to hear presentations from EPA speakers; and bring important STAR research to EPA’s Region 3 scientists, fostering the exchange of ideas and information between Region 3 scientists and STAR grantees.

The Symposium will consist of a series of sessions during which university scientists will present a summary of their research activities. It is anticipated that several EPA scientists will also speak about their research. Possible agenda topic areas include Exposure Assessment, Biomarkers, Susceptibility and Vulnerability, and Chemical Mixtures. The Symposium will be open to all EPA staff, scientists from other federal agencies, and the public who are interested in this research.
