how follow-up recommendations are determined. This subcommittee 
discussion will result in recommendations that are presented to the 
Board of Scientific Counselors for discussion to recommend to ATSDR 
a course of action for health assessments. The Board will make 
recommendations on the quality of science in ATSDR-supported 
research, identify emerging problems which require scientific 
investigation, discuss the accuracy and currency of the science in 
ATSDR reports, and suggest program areas to emphasize and/or to de-
emphasize. In addition, the Board shall make recommendations 
regarding research programs and conferences that ATSDR may support 
through grants to make grants to universities, colleges, research 
institutions, hospitals, and other public and private organizations.

ATSDR's Health Assessment Process with the Community and Tribal
