driven the establishment
of new research programs
around the world. The

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 scientifi c 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.
