Welcome to the ILSI Research Foundation / Risk Science Institute (ILSI RF/RSI) Website.

ILSI RF/RSI works to advance the field of health and environmental risk assessment by:

  • Directing investigations of critical scientific issues in risk assessment, with the goal of seeking consensus and communicating findings to the scientific and regulatory communities
  • Facilitating the development of improved risk assessment methodologies
  • Providing opportunities for training in risk assessment and related topics

 
WHAT'S NEW

---------------------------------------------------------------------

CARES Training Workshop "Save-the-Date"

 

ILSI Research Foundation and the CARES Stakeholder Technical Team announce a CARES Training Workshop will be held on January 28 and 29, 2009 at the Westin Washington, DC City Center.  Further details will be available in early December.

 

 

Database of Physiological Parameters for Early Life Stages

The human physiological parameters for early life stages database has been completed.  Access to the database is free and available from this website.  The database is a reference source of appropriate parameter values for physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) or biologically-based dose-response (BBDR) models and subsequent use in risk assessment.   For further information, click here.

A new Evaluation Version of CARES is available

Evaluation Version 2.2 Build 7.8.9 Build Date 03/14/2006 includes two major enhancements: 1) A Dietary Minute Module (DMM) for assessing within-day (minute-by-minute) risk from exposure to pesticides that have rapidly reversible effects; and 2) Enhancements to the drinking water module.  For more information, click here.
