Four major categories covered are: (1) 'Alternative Biological Sources of Materials' focuses on alleviating national dependence on selected scarce resources by making alternative biological sources of materials available in the United States; (2) 'Chemical Threats to Man and Environment' focuses on identifying, understanding, and reducing contamination and environmental hazard arising from the manufacture, use, and disposal of man-made and naturally occurring chemical products; (3) 'Community Water Management' focuses on reducing risks to public health, safety, and the environment that arise from or are otherwise associated with the use and reuse of water; and (4) 'Earthquake Hazards Mitigation' focuses on reducing the casualties, damage, and social economic disruption from earthquakes by developing our technological capabilities through research and developing an increased understanding of the adjustments that units of society can make to earthquake hazards.
