What is the timeline for completion of the final new supplementary risk assessment?
The NIH is committed to ensuring that the new supplementary risk assessment is as rigorous and comprehensive as possible. This aim requires obtaining advice and commentary from many sources throughout the risk assessment process, and hence the timeframe for conducting and completing the supplementary risk assessment is a best estimate. The NIH anticipates that, by the Winter of 2010-2011, a draft version of the full report will be completed. At that time, the NIH will seek and consider additional comments from the public before it is finalized. The estimated date of completion of the final report is Winter 2011. Throughout the supplementary risk assessment process, the NIH continues to post periodic updates online as more information becomes available.
