Vision for Community of Research (CoR): Risk Management and Controls
Content
US-EU Collaboration: Bridging nanoEHS research efforts Community of Research (CoR):  Risk Management and Controls SCOPE AND GOALS Risk management and controls for nanotechnology identifies and implements strategies to address and manage potential nanosafety related hazards.  This involves standardizing a range of approaches to better inform and understand potential risk factors and integrate them into an effective risk management and control schema.  Areas of potential research and collaboration include:  
  • Identification and incorporation of relevant risk characterization information, hazard identification, exposure science, and risk modeling and methods into the safety evaluation of nanomaterials
  • Understanding, characterizing, and controlling of workplace exposure to nanomaterials
  • Integration of risk and exposure assessments into decision-making frameworks for risk management, including possible regulatory actions
  • Integration and standardization of risk communication within the risk management framework
  The focus of the Community of Research: Risk Management and Controls is to engage scientists and nanosafety professionals in identifying and sharing methodologies, control strategies and demonstrated effective solutions for the common purpose of reducing and preventing adverse health, safety and environmental exposures to nanomaterials.  Through participation in active exchange of interested and knowledgeable scientists and professionals, development of best practices can emerge that can be widely shared. Also, the CoR will identify specific research needs to improve risk management decision-making where gaps are found in the fundamental risk management variables.
