Identify and/or develop and evaluate the effectiveness of pre- and post-harvest interventions to reduce levels of chemical hazards in FSIS regulated productsīiological Hazards Screening/Detection/Enumeration Methods.Determine the magnitude and significance of migration of chemicals (e.g., endocrine disruptors) from packaging into FSIS regulated products.
Develop models to estimate chemical residue concentrations in beef, pork, and chicken tissues. Develop or improve rapid methods for screening chemical compounds in FSIS regulated products. Research Priorities Chemicals of Potential Concern Screening/Detection Methods We also welcome information about research on related topics not currently listed here. John Hicks by e-mail ( or at (301) 504-0840 with questions. This list represents FSIS' current assessment of priority research that will help further its public health mission the list will be updated biannually. While FSIS is extremely interested in these research areas, this interest does not imply that the data and/or technologies generated by this research will be endorsed by FSIS. This list of research areas of interest may be useful to researchers who are preparing grants for submission to agencies that fund food safety research (e.g., USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture ( ), National Institutes of Health ( ), ( ), or researchers with resources to conduct such research. These priorities are presented as suggestions for researchers interested in pursuing food safety objectives that are relevant to FSIS regulated products. Modernize Inspection Systems, Policies, and the Use of Scientific Approaches. Prevent Foodborne Illness and Protect Public Health. This listing supports the three goals of the FSIS Strategic Plan: 
While FSIS is not a research funding organization, it recognizes the importance of keeping abreast of the latest scientific endeavors as well as its role in promoting research in areas important to the FSIS mission. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has developed a listing of the top food safety research areas of interest. FSIS has also identified key data gaps and laboratory methods that are needed to fulfill our mission. Food Safety Research Priorities & Studies
