The EPA's role in research
As part of its wide range of functions, the EPA manages an environmental research programme that delivers essential scientific support for environmental policy development, implementation and broader decision making.
Since 1994, the EPA has funded research that focuses on achieving environmental objectives, informing policy and bringing together researchers and research users. The EPA is also responsible for coordinating environmental research in Ireland.
The EPA Research Programme is a Government of Ireland initiative funded by the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment
