The EPA has to do research BEFORE they can make any regulatory decisions. They are always going to be doing research in many different areas. It is not like they are going to stop doing research based on the results of their other research.
Research happens before, during, and after regulatory decisions. I'm just saying the potential for conflicts of interest exists in this system. When looking at all possible angles, there is potential there.
