Strategic EnvironmentalResearch and Development Program

(SERDP)

Strategic EnvironmentalResearch and Development Program

(SERDP)

● Established by Congress in FY 1991 DoD, DOE, and EPA partnership

● SERDP is a requirements driven program that: Identifies high-priority environmental science and

technology investment opportunities that address DoD requirements- Advanced technology development to address near term

needs

- Fundamental research to impact real world environmental management

SERDP’s Investment Approach

SERDP’s Investment Approach

● SERDP’s Investments Continuously Evolve● Annual Solicitations Structured Around

Statements of Need (SON)● SON Reflect:

Longer term strategic plans to address critical needs- Examples: contaminated groundwater, perchlorate, UXO,

marine mammals and sonar, eliminating Cr+6, etc.– SERDP is the dominant investor in some areas (i.e. UXO,

perchlorate)– In others SERDP leverages existing investments (i.e. marine

mammals-ONR, groundwater-BER ) Stand alone investments addressing narrower needs

Crafting a Strategic Approach to Climate and Energy● “The Department will leverage the

Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, a joint effort among DoD, the Department of Energy, and the Environmental Protection Agency, to develop climate change assessment tools.”

● “The Department will also speed innovative energy and conservation technologies from laboratories to military end users. The Environmental Security and Technology Certification Program uses military installations as a test bed to demonstrate and create a market for innovative energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies coming out of the private sector and DoD and Department of Energy laboratories.”
