“ICF is excited to support NIEHS’s efforts to translate the concept of evidence-based medicine into the environmental health science field to better understand the effects of toxic chemicals and other environmental stressors on human health,” said Jennifer Welham, senior vice president for ICF International. “The outcomes of this work will go a long way in helping regulatory agencies and other stakeholders make informed decisions around chemical safety and implement measures designed to protect public health.”
