Call for Candidates: USP Dietary Supplements Safety Modeling Expert Panel

USP invites qualified candidates to apply to serve as scientific experts on the Dietary Supplements Safety Modeling Expert Panel. The purpose of this Expert Panel is to develop a computational model to predict the safety of multi-ingredient dietary supplements. The panel will also apply the model to assess safety of dietary supplements containing 3 to 5 ingredients to test the model. The Expert Panel will make recommendations to and work at the direction of the USP Monographs—Dietary Supplements Expert Committee. 

Candidates interested in sharing their time and expertise should have in-depth knowledge of computational toxicology, risk assessment, dietary supplements, medical practice, nutrition science, and statistics.

USP anticipates establishing the Expert Panel by June 1, 2013. Most of the work of the Expert Panel will be conducted via teleconference at a frequency to be determined. It is likely that there will be at least one face-to-face meeting at USP during the lifetime of the Expert Panel.
