NEMI: National Environmental Methods Index
Since 2002, NEMI (http://www.nemi.gov/) has helped the scientific community find the environmental methods they need with an easy-to-use, searchable online database of both regulatory and non-regulatory methods.

Through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), potential partners are being identified to provide funding and assistance for the following activities:
