Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies

Appropriations within the Interior and Environment bill provide critical funding for science and research programs within the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Through competitively awarded grants and partnerships with these federal agencies, university researchers are finding ways to improve our nation’s water and air quality and increase our chemical safety awareness. Appropriations also support the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The NEH is a vital source of funding for scholars and researchers whose work helps the public and policymakers better understand and address the social, economic, political, and cultural challenges facing our nation and world.
