The need for establishing the medical and scientific consensus has never been greater. Conflicts and controversies related to chemical exposure, medical product safety, and health and environmental risks of technological advancements and industrial development are pervasive. Daily, decisions on these matters are issued by regulatory and legislative bodies and the courts. These decisions are often made without a clear understanding of the medical and scientific facts because independent, objective scientific analysis of the issues is lacking.

Successful resolution of these issues can be significantly advanced when the world's most respected scientific and medical authorities act as "referees," by conducting independent scientific assessments, presentations, dialogue and advocacy. Science Partners was created to address these needs.
