- We also support the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) in conducting systematic reviews and developing reports.
- Review scientific and peer-reviewed literature to research a broad variety of scientific topics in environmental risk assessment, synthesize findings, and communicate them through various formats and media (e.g., written reports, online websites, visualizations).
- Conduct study data extraction using electronic systematic review procedures and tools.
- Conduct data and statistical analysis involving Excel, Access, R, SAS, Python, SQL, VBA, and/or other software.
