State Research Needs Assessments
Every two years, ERIS gathers priority state science research needs from the state environmental agencies and shares this information with U.S. EPA and others.
Resiliency Hub
With state environmental and health agencies regularly responding to disasters, ERIS has conducted projects with ASTHO to develop a resiliency hub, examine resiliency to complex disasters, and consider resiliency in vulnerable communities.
PFAS Risk Communications Hub
To help state environment and health agencies share important information about PFAS effectively, ERIS and ASTHO developed a PFAS Risk Communications Hub to share case studies, resources, factsheets, and examples.
The Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC) is state-led coalition of state and federal regulators, industry, and stakeholders working together to achieve regulatory acceptance of environmental technologies. ITRC is a program of ERIS.
