In March 2023, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) established the Air Quality and Community Health Research Subcommittee (ACRS) of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), led jointly by NOAA, EPA and NIEHS. This week, ACRS launched a website to showcase their work. The subcommittee meets regularly and coordinates across agencies to advance important research on air quality and associated community-level health impacts and exposure disparities, focusing on communities with environmental justice concerns.
Greg Frost, of NOAA’s Chemical Sciences Laboratory and Climate Program Office (CPO), is the NOAA co-chair of the ACRS, taking over from CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4) program manager Monika Kopacz this fall. Greg oversees the NOAA’s Earth’s Radiation Budget (ERB) program, is the GeoXO satellite system Atmospheric Composition instrument (ACX) User Engagement Lead and most recently is serving as the Atmospheric Composition advisor to the NOAA Research Deputy Assistant Administrator for Science, John Cortinas.
