| Title: | Endocrine Disruptors in the Environment: A U.S. EPA Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Progress Review |
| Date: | Sunday, November 16, 2008 |
| Location: | Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina
700 S Florida Avenue Tampa, FL 33602 Affiliated Meeting of the SETAC North America 29th Annual Meeting being held 16-20 November at the Tampa Convention Center, and the Interagency Nanotechnology Grantees Workshop being held 19-21 November at the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel.

| Purpose: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency National Center for Environmental Research (NCER) is holding a public meeting in conjunction with the SETAC North America Annual Meeting to review progress on characterizing sources of exposure and environmental impacts of endocrine disruptors. Since 2005, the EPA STAR grant program has provided $7.6 million for 13 research studies to develop methods to monitor endocrine disruptors in complex mixtures and to characterize the impact of hormones in waste from animal feeding operations. Studies that are developing innovative behavioral, molecular, and biosensor methods for detecting endocrine disruptors and hormone activity in environmental media such as wastewater effluent are nearing completion. Studies on the transport, fate, and effects of natural and synthetic hormones from cattle, swine, and poultry waste along with the effects of different waste disposal practices on transport to soil and water are in progress. Several of the studies are being conducted in cooperation with scientists at USEPA, USGS, and USDA. This meeting provides the opportunity for researchers to discuss recent findings, common methodological issues, and upcoming investigations on endocrine disruptors in the environment. |

| Purpose: | The objective of this interagency nano grantees meeting is to highlight the latest research results on a variety of engineered nanomaterials. Grantees from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the National Institute of Environment Health Sciences (NIEHS) will present research results exploring the potential effects these materials may have on human health and the environment. A secondary objective of this meeting is to facilitate communication among stakeholders in this area and to stimulate researchers and other involved in this area to consider the potential environment impacts of their work. The grantees presenting at this meeting were awarded through EPA's Joint Nano solicitations with other agencies. |
