Description
The Texas Air Quality Research Program (AQRP) supports research on air quality in Texas. It is funded by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and administered through the University of Texas at Austin. Its 2026–2027 request for proposals sought projects addressing the program’s published research priorities, with the goal of advancing scientific understanding of Texas air quality.
An Independent Technical Advisory Committee reviews proposals. AQRP’s State of the Science of Air Quality in Texas report summarizes findings from program research conducted between 2016 and 2021 and provides context for proposed work.
