FSII - Project Advisory Group




	FSII Project Advisory Group
	The FSII Project Advisory Group (PAG) is a panel of key experts in food safety data, research, and policy as well as stakeholder representatives from major constituencies. The PAG includes just under 50 people, including representatives of key federal agencies, local and state governments, a wide range of private firms and trade associations, consumer advocacy groups, academic research institutions, and international bodies. The PAG has provided high level guidance to the overall agenda of the project, and provided input into research, particularly with respect to the identification of key issues, obstacles, and opportunities to improve food safety data collection, access, and sharing. Initial PAG discussions occurred via teleconference on March 31 and April 4, 2006. For more information about the PAG, please contact Mike Taylor at Mike.Taylor@gwumc.edu.
