| Research
Overview |
|
|
| The California Air Resources Board
sponsors a comprehensive program of research into the causes
and effects of, and possible solutions to, the air pollution
problem in California. The goal of the research program
is to provide the timely scientific and technical
information needed to develop and support the public policy decisions
required for an effective air pollution control program. |

| 10-Year
Research Plan |
|
|
| A Strategic
Plan for Research, April 2003 Update (1,511 KB - pdf),
based on ARB's regulatory priorities for the next decade. The objective
of the plan is to provide more focused direction for ARB's research
program, provide findings in a timely fashion, and better leverage
state funds. Implementing a Strategic Plan will help ensure that
limited resources are used efficiently and that the research efforts
will effectively serve the needs of the ARB. |
|
| Vulnerable
Populations Research Program |
|
| The overall goal of the Vulnerable
Populations Research Program (VPRP) is to provide the scientific
support, through research efforts, for ARB's regulatory and
non-regulatory programs that aim to protect all California residents,
including those subpopulations considered especially vulnerable, from
the adverse effects of air pollution. The major objectives of
the VPRP are to identify susceptible subpopulations, to quantify the
degree to which their health is compromised, and to
characterize their exposures to air pollutants. The ARB
has released the Vulnerable Populations Research Program
(VPRP) 2003 Progress Report and Research Plan which presents
the Air Resources Board's current activities and priorities for future
activities in the implementation of this Program. |

|
| The research plan for fiscal year
2008-09 was approved by the
Board on July 24, 2008. The Annual Research Plan describes the research
projects the Board will recommend funding in the 2008-2009
fiscal
year. |
