Risk Assessment Training and Experience (RATE)

The Risk Assessment Training and Experience (RATE) Program modules were developed to cover scientific subject matter and methodologies considered to be essential knowledge and skills for EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Chemical Managers and risk assessors within and outside of the Agency.

RATE modules were developed on the topics of general risk assessment, human health risk assessment, the IRIS process, specific IRIS methodologies, including use of Benchmark Dose (BMD) and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models.
