Requires the Administrator to establish separately identified core research programs consisting of fundamental ecological, health, and risk reduction research to support efforts to assess and mitigate serious environmental risks. Requires the Science Advisory Board to review and make recommendations on core research program activities. Directs the Administrator to establish an Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program to conduct comprehensive, long-term environmental monitoring, data collection, and data analysis to assess and respond to the current and long-term status and trends of the ecological resources of the United States. Requires the Administrator to make available to the public and the Congress statistical data summaries and interpretive reports on ecological status and trends. Directs the Administrator to: (1) establish a modernization program to identify, acquire, and maintain modern buildings, facilities, supplies, and equipment needed to conduct high quality research; and (2) conduct studies and make assessments of the adequacy of the equipment and facilities to meet the needs of EPA and to attract well-qualified scientists, engineers, and other appropriate personnel. Repeals a required annual report from the Administrator of a five-year plan for environmental research, development, and demonstration. Directs the Administrator to: (1) carry out a program of environmental technology transfer and exchange of scientific information to make full use of EPA's research, development, and demonstration efforts; and (2) establish a separately identified research program to improve EPA's capability to identify and assess risks to public health and ecosystems resulting from environmental contamination.
