Model Averaging Webinar Workshop Announcement
Notice: EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) is hosting a public workshop on model averaging methods for dose-response analysis. The workshop will be held via webinar in two half-day increments (12:00 PM to 4:00 PM EST) on December 10-11, 2015. Meeting registration is now available.
The purpose of this workshop is to obtain expert peer consultation on model averaging methods for dose-response analysis. To facilitate the workshop, EPA will provide invited workshop consultants with background and support materials for consideration, including a document describing methods that are consistent with published recommendations and software that illustrates how those existing methods could be implemented. The workshop will provide EPA with peer input to consider for the identification of the model averaging method(s) that offer(s) the greatest potential for the development of chemical health assessments. Interested parties are invited to register for the workshop and prepare a brief presentation (‰?? 5 minutes) to be presented to the workshop consultants. The workshop will be open to attendance by interested public attendees and/or speakers on a first-come, first-served basis up to the limits of the webinar room.
For more information, including information on registering for the webinar, visit the workshop website.

Ongoing Improvements to EPA's Website
Notice: Recently, EPA launched a redesigned website to help the general public find information faster and easier. This redesign includes the IRIS website, which now provides a more user-friendly interface, easier navigation, and improved content for IRIS users, including chemical-specific webpages. As part of the redesign, historical information and documents are being pulled from various information management systems within the Agency. If you identify what you believe to be an error on one of the chemical-specific web pages, please contact us using this link. For more information about the improvements to the EPA website, click here.
