Food Safety Information Infrastructure Events are currently being scheduled for the Food Safety Information Infrastructure project. See that project website for more detailed information. Past Prioritizing Opportunities to Reduce Foodborne Risk National Conference September 14, 2005 Washington, DC Presentation of proposed priority-setting framework to national stakeholders and experts. Convened at Resources for the Future, 1616 P Street NW, Washington, DC 20036. Workshop Series: Prioritizing Opportunities to Reduce Foodborne Risk The FSRC held a series of three workshops to develop a conceptual framework for prioritizing opportunities to reduce risk based on an understanding of the integrated and systems-wide approach necessary to reduce foodborne illness. Workshop 1: Risk modeling approaches and case studies Convened by Iowa State University and the University of California-Davis June 15 & 16, 2004 Iowa State University Workshop 2: Economic measures of interventions December 2 & 3, 2004 University of Massachusetts Amherst Workshop 3: Interventions and Food Attribution April 26 & 27, 2005 University of Georgia. Project Briefing: Prioritizing Opportunities to Reduce Foodborne Risk February 2, 2004 Washington, DC The briefing featured a presentation on a draft background paper prepared for the project titled Constructing the Analytical Tools for an Integrated, Risk-Based Food Safety System. This paper outlines an integrated, systems approach to understanding both the causation and prevention of foodborne illness and identifies the elements of a framework for prioritizing risk reduction opportunities. Food Attribution Workshop October 31, 2003 Atlanta, GA Based, in part, upon data gaps highlighted by the risk ranking model, the FSRC convened a small group of experts to participate in a day long workshop. This workshop developed ideas and recommendations for how food attribution data might be collected to produce the most useful results in an efficient manner, and further defined and prioritized other data collection needs to support food safety risk ranking as tool for priority setting. The workshop discussion has been published in an article in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, and previously in a discussion paper. Foodborne Illness Risk Ranking Model Ranking the Public Health Impact of Foodborne Hazards A Conference on the FSRC Risk Ranking Model September 12, 2003 Washington, DC FSRC hosted a one-day conference on the development of its risk ranking model. Video is available, as are many background documents made available at the conference. Work-in-Progress Workshops July 8^th through July 16^th, 2003 Washington, DC The Risk Ranking Model project team held six work-in-progress workshops where invited stakeholders were updated on model status and challenges and given the opportunity to provide feedback. FSRC General Events Consortium Launch - February 6, 2003 February 6, 2003 Washington, DC Michael R. Taylor (RFF), J. Glenn Morris (UMD), Catherine E. Woteki (Iowa State), and Michael P. Doyle (UGA) provided an overview of the FSRC's goals, operating principles and research agenda, and a briefing on the Consortium's initial project, which is the development of a model to compare and rank the relative public health impact of specific pathogen-food combinations. The project was funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Pamela Russo, M.D., a senior program officer at RWJF, also participated. Excerpts (audio and transcripts) from the briefing are available here.
