Agency Seminar Series

Since 2007 The Research Translation Core has sponsored an Agency Seminar Series help at EPA offices in Seattle. Seminars are directed toward an audience of agency staff involved with risk assessment and communication at Superfund sites, such as EPA Region 10 and the Washington State Departments of Health and Ecology. The objective of the invited speaker series is to support topic experts who can help agency staff address local hazardous waste and contamination issues. These seminars provide agency staff, the Research Translation Core staff and researcher scientists the opportunity to exchange information and ideas on local issues and concerns.

For information on the Agency Seminar Series please call Katie Frevert, 206-685-5379.
