	6. What is the FDA doing to
	find out more about the
	possible health effects of
	wireless phone RF?
	The FDA is working 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
S a fety	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.
