LRI co-sponsors workshops and conferences with scientific societies, international organizations, and governmental agencies that are designed to focus on timely issues of mutual interest to these groups and to policy makers. The primary goals are to foster interactions among researchers and stakeholders, to stimulate discussions that can improve the scientific basis for policy-making and to support consensus building that can advance the risk assessment process.

Navigating Obstacles Towards Modernizing Risk Assessment
Recent events provide a compelling impetus for modernizing chemical risk assessment. Several reports from the National Research Council (NRC) form a critical basis for rethinking how risk assessment is done and provide numerous and varied recommendations for advancing the science. Other key drivers include initiatives by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) to increase the efficiency of the risk assessment process and the potential use of data emerging from the ‘omics’ technologies and bioinformatic sciences to improve regulatory decision making.
This workshop will be a dynamic forum for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to engage in meaningful discussions and critical evaluations of
emerging directions in human health risk assessment.
