The Science Advisory Board (SAB) is a peer review panel internal to EPA. The Ecological Effects Committee of the SAB conducts reviews of EMAP's overall program and the conceptual framework for integrating EMAP with ORD's Ecological Risk Assessment program.

Preparation for SAB reviews is coordinated by the Director of the Office of Modeling, Monitoring systems, and Quality Assurance (OMMSQA); the Assistant Administrator for ORD is responsible for funding. SAB review is considered level 1 peer review.
