The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Basic Research Program was initiated with the reauthorization of the Superfund under the Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act (SARA) in 1986. SARA provided a role for NIEHS to conduct basic research including epidemiological, engineering and ecological studies in a broad range of areas related to understanding the potential health effects resulting from exposures to hazardous substances. The NIEHS Basic Research Program represents only 1.5% of the total Superfund Program budget. In 1994, NIEHS Superfund provided funding to 17 colleges and universities.
