EPA shutters its scientific research
arm, with hundreds of scientists
expected to be impacted
July 18, 2025
The Environmental Protection Agency
announced Friday afternoon that it
is eliminating its scientific division,
known as the Office of Research and
Development.
The move to shutter the ORD comes one
day after the agency said it was
undergoing a reorganization involving
several other EPA divisions.
ORD conducts critical research to
"safeguard human health and ecosystems
from environmental pollutants,"
according to its website. More than
1,500 employees, including scientists
and researchers, are dispersed across
the country at 11 different locations,
but the bulk are based at the EPA's
headquarters in Washington, D.C., and
at a large scientific facility in
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

Trump sez science is for lusers who went to school. He learned how to be
a better pedophile when he went.
