Conference Presentations
The national HPV data users conference included concurrent presentation sessions where individuals from federal and state government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), industry, and academia educated fellow conference attendees on accessing, reviewing, and utilizing health and environmental effects data made available for HPV chemicals from the HPV Challenge Program and other sources. Presentations also provided a chance for individuals to discuss HPV data needs and to demonstrate HPV data access capabilities, including those associated with Federal and non-Federal information systems. Finally, conference presentations allowed individuals to share information on public and private initiatives, including international efforts that are underway to acquire additional HPV chemical data.
Conference presentations are listed alphabetically by speaker's last name.
