• The Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program is the extramural grants program of ORD. • The STAR Program supports grants for research on EDCs on topics that complement EPA’s in-house research. • The STAR Program encourages collaborative, multidisciplinary projects to improve our understanding of EDC sources, fate and transport, exposures, biomarkers, and effects on individuals and populations. • The aim of STAR research on EDCs is to provide improved methods, data, and models that will lead to improved hazard assessments and reduced uncertainties in ecological and human risk assessments for EDCs.
