The STAA Program is an annual Agencywide competition to promote and recognize scientific and technological achievements by EPA employees. The STAA program is administered and managed by EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD).

The 2009– 2011 STAA Committee was formed in June 2009 and provided advice to the Administrator regarding the 2009 STAA awards. Request for Nominations: There is a need to supplement the STAA Committee with additional expertise to review the 2010 and 2011 nominations. Accordingly, the SAB Staff Office is seeking nominations of nationally and internationally recognized scientists and engineers having experience and expertise in ecosystems and ecological risk assessment. Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified individuals in the areas of expertise described above for possible service on this expert ad hoc Committee.
