Information About the Document EPA researchers conduct observational exposure studies to understand how and the extent to which people come into contact with chemicals in their everyday lives. The researchers and their managers take the protection of human subjects who participate in these observational studies very seriously. EPA wants to ensure that the procedures used in their studies meet or exceed the most up-todate scientific and ethical standards. To address this goal, researchers at the Agency’s National Exposure Research Lab (NERL) have prepared this document to identify key scientific and VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:20 Oct 03, 2007 Jkt 214001 ethical issues and to provide information and resources to assist researchers as they plan and implement observational exposure studies. This document is not meant to represent an official Agency ‘‘guidance document.’’ Moreover, it recognizes that researchers will work with others—EPA’s Human Subjects Research Review Official, Institutional Review Board (IRB) members, the participants and their community, and other stakeholders—to identify and address all of the relevant issues for any specific study to ensure that all participants are respected and protected. The draft document was developed through recommendations from nationally-recognized experts, public comment and external peer review in an open and transparent process. As part of this process, the document is being submitted to EPA’s Human Studies Review Board (HSRB), which was established to provide advice, information, and recommendations on issues related to scientific and ethical aspects of human subjects research.
