Superfund Research Program

The Superfund Research Program (SRP) is a U.S. initiative aimed at addressing hazardous waste sites and protecting public health. Funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), it supports research to understand the health effects of toxic substances, develop cleanup technologies, and inform communities about risks. The program also promotes partnerships between scientists, communities, and government agencies to ensure effective solutions to environmental contamination. Ultimately, SRP strives to improve health and safety in areas affected by pollution and to foster sustainable environments.
