EPA Region 7 Partnership

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 and KU Center for Research officials collaborate on projects and initiatives. EPA and CEP have an agreement outlining their relationship. These organizations work together to identify research priorities and consult on research. Under the agreement, EPA may make paid and volunteer internship projects available, and CEP will help connect students to those opportunities.

CEP has also established networks of partners, including environmental agencies and NGOs.
