Office of the Science Advisor

The Office of the Science Advisor (OSA) is a part of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that ensures scientific integrity and excellence in the agency's work. It provides expert guidance on scientific issues, supports research initiatives, and helps develop policies based on solid scientific evidence. The OSA also coordinates with other scientific organizations and stakeholders to assess environmental risks and inform decision-making. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between science and policy to help protect human health and the environment.
