Program and with groups
of 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
infl uential 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 scientifi c 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.
