Consumers Union (CU) is an expert, independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to work for a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all consumers and to empower consumers to protect themselves. The organization was founded in 1936 when advertising first flooded the mass media. Consumers lacked a reliable source of information they could depend on to help them distinguish hype from fact and good products from bad ones. Since then CU has filled that vacuum with a broad range of consumer information. To maintain its independence and impartiality, CU accepts no outside advertising and no free samples and employs several hundred mystery shoppers and technical experts to buy and test the products it evaluates. The organization generates more than $200 million in revenue, and a staff totaling more than 600 work at CU''s 50 state-of-the-art labs and offices in Yonkers, N.Y.; its 327-acre Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Conn.; and our three advocacy offices, in Washington, D.C., Austin, Texas, and San Francisco. Consumers Union is governed by a board of 18 directors who are elected by CU members and meet three times a year

This website is an invitation. an invitation to join scientists and stakeholders in an effort to review the scientific basis of traditional toxicological risk assessment, to provide the toxicological community with the tools it needs to efficiently and transparently judge risks of a diversifying nature and to make toxicology thus fit to meet the challenges of the 21st century. an invitation to participate in the inception and continuous implementation of a new movement in toxicology that aims at adopting an evidence-based approach. an invitation to help bridging the gap between modern toxicological science and risk assessment in order to exploit the wealth of information from new technologies in modern life sciences & toxicological research and to arrive at informed, transparent, judicious and conscientious decisions made on the basis of all evidence available. an invitation to develop a framework that allows combining precious expert insight grown over years of practical experience with structured approaches in basic science, in method assessment and in decision-making. Such evidence-based toxicology might help to make the best possible use of all sources of evidence in an efficient, productive, reliable, acceptable and transparent manner. Why do we need evidence-based toxicology (EBT)? Toxicology and the delivery of effective safety assessment critically relies on concepts and understanding generated by basic scientific research and must therefore adapt constantly to advances in knowledge. However, particularly from the perspective of regulatory toxicology, some of the assessment paradigms and methodologies were established decades ago and have changed little in response to scientific progress. At the same time, changes in our understanding of human disease, changes in the types of product now requiring safety assessment, and changes in the legislative landscape and public expectations pose significant challenges for industry, academia and regulators alike. It is necessary to challenge the status quo and ensure that as a matter of course best scientific practice and technical sophistication is reflected in safety assessment practices such that current and future challenges can be met. It is important therefore to ensure that structures are available that will encourage, facilitate and support a process of critical appraisal and renewal of the toxicological repertoire available for safety assessment. Part of this process is to embrace evidence-based toxicology such that the best possible scientific evidence is applied to judge product safety and likely risks to human health.

Many science fairs have a group of people called a Scientific Review Committee (or SRC) that reviews each project application to ensure that all safety and legal requirements will be met and that the appropriate forms have been completed. The committee also reviews the completed project displays. Typically, a Scientific Review Committee is composed of at least three people: a biomedical scientist, a physical scientist, and a science teacher. Some fairs also have an Institutional Review Board (IRB), which reviews all proposed projects that in any way involve human beings. An IRB''s purpose is to ensure that the project will not present undue risk to the subjects.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on February 18, 2014.

A networking site for investigators using animal models to study aging, developed to provide a venue for sharing information about research models for aging studies. If you have tissue or data from animal models relevant to aging research that you are willing to share with other investigators, D-SARM allows you to identify the model and provides a secure, blinded email contact for investigators who would like to contact you about acquiring tissue or related resources. Investigators looking for resources from a particular model enter search terms describing the model of interest and then use the provided link to send emails to the contacts (names blinded) listed in the search results to initiate dialog about tissue or resources available for sharing. The database is housed on a secure server and admission to the network is moderated by the NIA Project Officer and limited to investigators at academic, government and non-profit research institutions. The goal is to provide a secure environment for sharing information about models used in aging research, promoting the sharing of resources, facilitating new research on aging in model systems, and increasing the return on the investment in research models.

The Incidence Registry contains the basic data items collected from clinicians and pathologists, as well as from administrative discharge and mortality sources. It is updated continuously with information on both new cases, as well as cases diagnosed in previous years. All medical doctors in the country are instructed by law to notify new cancer cases. Clinical Registries: Registration of treatment and follow-up of Norwegian cancer patients. Clinical registries comprehensive registration schemes dedicated to specific cancers have been established to include detailed information on diagnostic measures, therapy, and follow-up. Cancer Statistics: Database of cancer statistics. The Cancer Registry of Norway is maintained by the Institute of Population-based Cancer Research and established in 1951. It is one of the oldest national cancer registries in the world. This, combined with the unique personal identification number used in Norway, makes the Cancer Registry''s data suitable, also internationally; by establishing new knowledge through research and spreading information on cancer.
