REB senior staff mentor junior staff, visiting fellows, and students, serve as journal reviewers, and are editors or members of editorial boards:
- Dr. Ron (Radiation Research)
- Dr. Linet (JNCI, American Journal of Epidemiology, Journal of Epidemiology and Biostatistics)
- Dr. Steven Simon (Health Physics) and Dr. Gilbert (International Journal of Radiation Biology). Dr. Linet is on the Board of Directors of the American College of Epidemiology.
- Drs. Bouville, Gilbert, Land, and Mabuchi have participated in IARC monographs.
- Dr. Inskip was a member of the FDA Center for Radiological Health panel.
International and National Committee Service
Staff members often serve on program and planning committees for national and international epidemiology and radiation meetings. REB researchers frequently are invited to lecture at universities and professional meetings.
Branch staff are active on NIH, NCI and DCEG committees.
- Dr. Sigurdson is a member of the NIH Tenure Track Investigators Committee.
- Dr. Linet was a member of the DCEG Tenure and Promotion Committee and was the DCEG Women's Scientist Advisor.
- Dr. Linet is a member of the DCEG Senior Advisory Group.
- Ms. Ruth Kleinerman also served on the Committee of Scientists.
- Drs. Hill, Sigurdson and Travis were members of the DCEG Molecular Epidemiology Committee, and
- Ms. Doody and Drs. Sigurdson and Hill were members of the Biorespository Committee.
Radiation Committee Service
REB senior scientists have particularly heavy responsibilities associated with radiation committee work that involves substantial time commitments.
- Dr. Bouville is a member of the NAS Committee on Assessment of CDC Radiation Studies.
- Drs. Gilbert, Bouville, Travis, and Land are members of the National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP).
- Drs. Bouville, Gilbert, Land, Simon, and Ron have served on NCRP special committees that require writing comprehensive reports that are needed by the radiation protection community. These reports, which are often sponsored by U.S. governmental agencies such as EPA, take several years to complete.
- Drs. Land and Ron are members of Committee 1 and Dr. Bouville of Committee 3 of the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP). Membership is for a four-year term and entails not only writing critical reports but also data analysis.
- Drs. Ron and Bouville had major responsibility for writing the epidemiology and dosimetry reports of UNSCEAR 2000.
- Dr. Mabuchi is currently a member of the three-person team writing the next UNSCEAR epidemiology report.
- Dr. Gilbert is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Committee on Health Risks of Exposure to Radiation (BEIR VII). This report will involve primary data analysis and is expected to take several years.
