How will the NIH and the Blue Ribbon Panel communicate to the public during the supplementary risk assessment process?
The NIH will provide updates about the ongoing supplementary risk assessment and the Blue Ribbon Panel’s activities on the Panel’s Web site. Members of the public may sign up for automatic updates by subscribing to the Web site’s email list. After the draft supplementary risk assessment has been completed, NIH will also post a notice in the Federal Register and place ads in Boston newspapers to solicit public comment. Throughout the entire process, meetings of the Panel are open to the public. Individuals may attend the meetings in person or view the proceedings online, via live or archived Webcasts.
