RiskIERisk Information Exchange • A Database to Communicate In-Progress Risk & Toxicity Assessments • Includes over 5100 projects being conducted by more than 20 organizations representing 8 countries • Currently available as beta, scheduled to join NLM’s TOXNET in 2008
Why do we need RiskIE? • To facilitate information exchange early in the process! • Chemical use has outpaced risk value development – we need to ensure we do not duplicate effort • Risk assessment values vary across organizations – opportunity for information exchange early in process • Risk Assessments receive intense review – so need to ensure that all sources of useful data have been tapped
