Using the 1993 NRC guidelines report, the National Advisory Committee (NAC) on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances—consisting of members from EPA, the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Department of Transportation, other federal and state governments, the chemical industry, academia, and other organiza... 

NAC is composed of members from EPA, DOD, many other federal and state agencies, industry, academia, and other organizations. The roster of NAC is shown on page 9. 

We would like to thank all of the authors for their valuable efforts in making this book serve as a definitive reference source on CE for laboratory analysts, researchers, managers/ executives in industry, academia, and government who are engaged in various phases of analytical research and development or in quality control. 

In addition, during 2001 we interviewed approximately 64 individuals in DoD, FDA, the pharmaceutical industry, academia, and related organizations. A list of those interviewed can be found at the end of the report. Within FDA, we interviewed officials in the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), which has primary responsibility for vaccines and other biologics. We also interviewed officials in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), the larger of the two centers, which has responsibilities for pharmaceutical drugs. In the private sector, we interviewed individuals in both the pharmaceutical development industries and in the for-profit and not-for-profit pharmaceutical E T establishment. 

For several years, the widespread application of PK/PD concepts in all phases of drug development has repeatedly been promoted by industry, academia, and regulatory authorities [11-16]. Rigorous implementation of PK/PD concepts in drug product development provides a rationale, scientifically based framework for efficient decision-making regarding the selection of potential drag candidates, for... 

The AIChE was founded in 1908. The AIChE represents over 50,000 chemical engineers in industry, academia, and government. The organization provides leadership in the chemical engineering profession and offers several major meetings a year, publishes several specific journals and more. Visit the AIChE s website for a complete picture of its current activities. 

The aim of this book is twofold to introduce the topic of inorganic mass spectrometry to the nonpractitioner of the technique and to familiarize those conversant with it with recent developments in some of the foremost laboratories in the world. The book should be of value to industry, academia, and government laboratory staff and should appeal to both national and international audiences. It is written so that a college senior majoring in the sciences can follow the discussion but has enough technical sophistication to keep it the benchmark for books in this field for the next decade. 

Let me start with plans for change. There is a need for linkage among industry, academia, and government. The first link we need is with the Morelia Commission, which is an 11-person commission on the advancement of technology.2 You should know about that commission because it is an avenue that will help you to follow up on some of the discussions we have had here. And you should link up with the AXXS 99 as well. 

The excellent contributions to the Handbook of Bioseparations are likely to make it an essential reference and guidebook for separation scientists working in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, academia, and government laboratories. 

E-mail Address wmadison ccrhq.org Web Address www.ccrhq.org The Council for Chemical Research (CCR) is an organization based in Washington, D.C., whose membership represents industry, academia, and government. CCR was formed in 1979 to promote cooperation in basic research and encourage high quality education in the chemical sciences and engineering. 

One of CDER s primary goals is to work collaboratively and cooperatively with industry, academia, and others to improve the drug development and review process. It also strives to provide consumers and health care providers with drug information that is vital to improving the public health. The topics listed below provide an overview of the various means of communicating with CDER. 

Other research activities related to residential exposure assessment currently being sponsored by the USEPA include the National Human Exposure Assessment Survey (NHEXAS) (website http //www.epa.gov/heasd/edrb/nhexas.htm). In addition, the USEPA concluded a Co-operative Agreement, referred to as the Residential Exposure Assessment Project (REAP) with the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) and the International Society of Exposure Analysis (ISEA) which resulted in a reference textbook (Baker et al, 2001) describing relevant methodologies, data sources and research needs for residential exposure assessment. The REAP and other efforts complement other USEPA initiatives, such as the development of the Series 875 guidelines, and will facilitate a sharing of information and other resources between the USEPA, other Federal and State agencies, industry, academia and other interested parties.
