Magnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception

in 1996. An influential result of this work has

information documents on EMF issues.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications

& Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal

Cooperative Research And Development Agreement

(CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety.

The FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining

input from experts in government, industry, and

academic organizations. CTIA-funded research

is conducted through contracts with independent

investigators. The initial research will include both

laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone

users. The CRADA will also include a broad

assessment of additional research needs in the

context of the latest research developments around

the world.
