The Alliance for Risk Assessment

A Collaborative Approach for Solving Public Health Risk Assessment Issues

To continue the discussion set forth by Science and Decisions: Advancement of Risk Assessment (NAS, 2008), and conducted under the aegis of the Alliance for Risk Assessment (ARA), a series of three meetings is envisioned over the course of a year. The ultimate goal is consensus among participants on guidance highlighting key considerations for applying a variety of dose-response techniques to different risk assessment settings, as characterized in early problem formulation or issue identification. The workshops will be led by an Expert Panel, and will focus on purpose-specific dose-response assessment, which integrates relevant available data and is illustrated by case studies. The Expert Panel will facilitate the brainstorming and selection of case studies during the first workshop, lead evaluation of the case studies during the second, and build consensus on purpose-specific dose-response assessment methods during the third.
