with the U.S. National
Toxicology 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
Radio Frequency (RF)
energy.
The FDA has been
a leading participant
in the World Health
Organization Interna-

Fields (EMF) Project
since its inception in
1996. An infl uential
result of this work has
been the development
of a detailed agenda of

issues.
The FDA and the Cellu-

& Internet Association
(CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research
And Development
Agreement (CRADA) to
do research on wireless
phone safety. The FDA

input from experts in
government, industry,
and academic organiza-

research is conducted
through contracts with
