Ex. 6 Personal Privacy (PP) j Subject: Risk Assessment Specialty Section (RASS) Monthly Webinar on November 8, 2017 Reply-To: "SOT Headquarters" <SOTHO@toxicology.org> Dear RASS members: Our November webinar will familiarize us with the latest on systematic review - how and why it was developed as well as how it is being implemented in assessment applications. Vickie Walker of the National Toxicology Program in the NIEHS and Michele Taylor of the IRIS program at the US EPA will present perspectives and applications from their respective agencies on the practice and promise of systematic review in their two-part presentation entitled: "Systematic Review: Concept and Tool Development with Application to Assessment Processes of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)." The abstract for the presentation is provided below with the instructions for webinar access. The file for the presentation will be available for download on Monday, November 6th, by COB in the "Webinars and Downloads" section of the RASS homepage.

Your participation in the webinars and especially the discussion at the end makes the time taken by our presenters to contribute to our webinars worthwhile. Please show your appreciation of their contribution by your continued attendance and active engagement. Cheers, Annie Annie M.

Systematic review uses a pre-established scientific framework to identify, select, assess, and summarize data from available studies to address specific scientific questions. The goal is to ensure the review is complete, unbiased, reproducible and transparent. The results of a systematic review can be used to inform decisions, reach conclusions, or identify research needs. Environmental health questions require the evaluation of a broad range of relevant data (e.g., human, animal, and "other relevant data" including mechanistic or in vitro studies), therefore systematic review methods must consider the diversity of data types and include procedures to integrate data across these evidence streams to reach conclusions regarding potential health effects from environmental exposures. This webinar will provide a general overview of systematic review methods for addressing environmental questions and several software tools that facilitate the application of the workflow. Examples will be presented from both the National Toxicology Program's Office of Health Assessment and Translation (OHAT) and the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) at EPA.
