Toxicology Excellence for Risk
Assessment
(TERA)
The mission of TERA is to support the protection
of public health by developing, reviewing and communicating risk
assessment values and analyses, improving risk methods through research,
and educating risk assessors and managers and the public on risk
assessment issues. TERA
provides sponsors and the public with independent and objective opinions. Five
of our toxicologists are certified by the American Board of Toxicology.
Specific activities of TERA include:
The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members
of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of
America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to
certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the
highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and
cost effectiveness. These
standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in
the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in
the world. Of the 1,000,000
charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that
fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of
those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.
