- The pilot study was funded by two grants, one to Bernard Weiss from EPRI, and the other from the University of Maryland's Joint Institute on Food Safety and Nutrition (JIFSAN) to Philip Davidson. The JIFSAN is a joint venture of the University of Maryland and the US Food and Drug Administration. The grant to Dr. Davidson was funded under a cooperative agreement mechanism. The University of Maryland received funds for the project from the FDA, EPRI, ATSDR, and the NIEHS.
- Audiologic electrophysiology was performed on only the subject's right ear to reduce the testing time for these tasks. This procedure is acceptable so long as asymmetries are not present or suspected.
