Coordinate with the Ontologies & Databases CoR on terminology and resources and enable inputs from the Ecotoxicology Testing & Predictive Models CoR, the Predictive Modeling for Human Health CoR, and the Exposure through the Life Cycle CoR to be meaningfully analyzed by methods from the Risk Assessment CoR in a manner that supports informed decision-making by the Risk Management & Control CoR.
2. Inventory methods and tools available for assessing and comparing potential risks and changes in risk for engineered nanomaterials and nano-enabled products (including applications such as medical diagnostics and treatment).
