investigators around the world
to ensure that high priority
animal studies are conducted to
address important questions
about the effects of exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF). The
FDA has been a leading
participant in the World Health
Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in
1996 . An influential result of
this work has been the
development of a detailed
agenda of research needs that
has driven the establishment of
new research programs around
the world. The project has also
helped develop a series of public
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.
