WELCOME
TO THE GLOBAL ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOR RESEARCH INVENTORY


This compilation of ongoing research projects related to endocrine disruptions was assembled following the recommendation of the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety (IFCS) and the 1997 Declaration of the Environment Leaders of the Eight on Children's Environmental Health. The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) agreed to accept this responsibility in conjunction with the development of an international state of the science on endocrine disruption. In a coordinated fashion, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) agreed to take the lead for delineating test methods and testing needs related to endocrine disruption.

The inventory was developed following the process developed for the 1996 Federal Research Inventory (EDRI) done by the United States. The initial goal was to bring together and update the existing United States Inventory with those of the Canadian government and the European Union. This has been accomplished and we are now encouraging and accepting submission of research projects by other countries and private industry so that it will be as comprehensive as possible. This inventory is also being maintained at a mirror site at the Joint Research Center of the European Union at Ispra, Italy. This mirror site also includes information about the status of the IPCS supported International Assessment Document on the State-of-the Science of Endocrine Disruptors.

As of May 08th, 2009, the inventory contains 778 projects.
