Eastern Research Group Inc. (ERG), headquartered in Concord, Massachusetts, was awarded a delivery order valued at $480,897 on April 7, 2023, to develop and deliver community-based trainings aimed at preventing childhood lead exposure. The contract, which utilized time and materials pricing with no set-aside designation, is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention and will be performed in Lexington, Massachusetts, with an ultimate completion date of July 22, 2024. This work aligns with EPA's broader public health and environmental protection mission, particularly its initiatives to reduce lead exposure—a significant environmental health threat affecting children's cognitive development and overall well-being.

ERG is well-positioned to execute this training initiative given its extensive experience delivering technical, research, and program management services to federal agencies since 2002. The company specializes in environmental protection, regulatory compliance, and public health initiatives, and has previously supported the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with public health assessment training and environmental health initiatives. As the prime contractor, ERG will leverage its consulting expertise to design and implement community-based educational programs that build awareness and capacity for lead exposure prevention, contributing to EPA's chemical safety and pollution prevention objectives across affected communities.
