WELCOME TO THE GLOBAL ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOR RESEARCH
INVENTORY |
![](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20090508061554im_/http://www.epa.gov/endocrine/globe.gif) |
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.
