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.
FDA and Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on
wireless phone safety. FDA provides the
scientific oversight, obtaining input from
experts in government, industry, and
academic organizations.
CTIA-funded research is conducted
through contracts to 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.
What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to radio
frequency energy from my wireless
phone?
If there is a risk from these products -
and at this point we do not know that
there is - it is probably very small. But if
