Hazardous Substance
Research Centers (HSRC) - A national organization that carries
out an active program of basic and applied research, technology
transfer, and training. Our activities are conducted regionally
by five multi-university centers, which focus on different aspects
of hazardous substance management. These centers bring together
researchers from a variety of disciplines to collaborate on integrated
research projects, which involve practical problems of hazardous
substance management as well as long-term, exploratory research.
The HSRC draws financial support from the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), the Department of Energy, and the Department of Defense,
with additional funding from academia, industry, and other state
and federal government agencies.
- STAR
(Science to Achieve Results) Program - The U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) plans to establish up to five (5) university-based
Hazardous Substance Research Centers (HSRCs). Centers will be
funded for up to five years. In this announcement, the EPA Office
of Research and Development (ORD) invites applications to establish
HSRCs to address priority hazardous substance research and training,
technology transfer, and technical assistance (referred to throughout
this document as "outreach"). A total of $5 million, split in
two parts: 70 percent for research, and 30 percent for other
Center activities, including training, technology transfer,
and technical assistance, is available for the first year. Awards
will begin after October 1, 2000, and are subject to the availability
of funds.

- Land
Resources and Environmental Science - The Department of Land
Resources and Environmental Sciences (LRES) provides science-based
teaching, research/creative activity, and outreach/public service.
Our role and scope is to generate and disseminate objective, scientifically-based
knowledge about land resources and land use. The Department brings
together disciplines related to soil, plants, and water to achieve
an integrated multi-disciplinary approach to understanding and
managing landscapes. We focus on issues related to cropland, rangeland,
other landscapes, and land rehabilitation. We foster collaboration
with allied disciplines, institutions, and stakeholders, since
land resource issues are complex and involve processes at many
scales. We strive to synthesize knowledge into a comprehensive
and useful summary for instructional, scientific, and practical
uses.
- Reclamation
Research Unit - The Reclamation Research Unit is a multidisciplinary
staff of research and teaching professionals committed to the
reclamation and restoration of drastically disturbed or altered
lands. The staff of the Reclamation Research Unit is dedicated
to the development of techniques, methods, and procedures to address
the repair of newly created minesoils and older damaged landscapes.
