Testimony issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Over the years, EPA has had persistent problems in managing its grants. Grants constituted one-half of the agency's annual budget, or about $4.2 billion in fiscal year 2002. EPA uses grants to implement its programs to protect human health and the environment and awards them to over 3,300 recipients, including state and local governments, tribes, universities, and nonprofit organizations. EPA's ability to efficiently and effectively accomplish its mission largely depends on how well it manages its grant resources and builds in accountability. Since 1996, GAO and EPA's Office of Inspector General have repeatedly reported on EPA's problems in managing its grants. Because these problems have persisted, in January 2003, GAO cited grants management as a major management challenge for EPA. GAO is currently reviewing EPA's efforts to improve grants management at the request of the Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and Representative Anne Northup. For this testimony GAO is reporting on results of its previously issued reports and on the grants problems EPA faces, past actions to address these problems, and recently issued EPA policies and a 5-year grants management plan to address its long-standing grants management problems."

"The National Children's Study will examine the effects of environmental influences on the health and development of more than 100,000 children across the United States, following them from before birth until age 21. The goal of the Study is to improve the health and well being of America's children. The Study will take a number of health factors into account, including: Natural and man-made environmental factors; Biological and chemical factors; Physical factors; Social factors; Behavioral influences; Genetics; Cultural and family influences; Geographic locations. Researchers will analyze how these elements interact with each other and what helpful and/or harmful effects they might have on children's health and development. By studying children through their different phases of growth and development, researchers will be better able to understand the role of these factors on health and disease. Findings from the Study will be made available continuously as the Study progresses." ; "6/17/2008" - date from document properties ; "The National Child Study, health, growth, environment." ; "The U.S. Children's Health Act of 2000 authorized the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and a consortium of U.S. federal agencies to conduct the National Children's Study. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) join the NICHD in planning and conducting this study. The NICHD is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the biomedical research arm of the U.S. federal government. Both the CDC and the NIH fall under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the principal federal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves. The EPA is the arm of the U.S. federal government that protects human health and safeguards the natural environment--air, water, and land--upon which life depends. These agencies are dedicated to working together to improve the health of all children through the successful completion of the National Children's Study."

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Minority employees at the EPA reported for a number of years that the agency had discriminated against them based on their race and retaliated against them for filing complaints. These issues were aired at hearings held by the House Committee on Science at which EPA said it would take actions to ensure a fair and discrimination free workplace. GAO was asked to review (1) the accuracy of EPA's equal employment opportunity (EEO) data, (2) various issues about the processes used to resolve discrimination complaints, and (3) the disciplinary actions taken for managers who discriminate."
