Many
State-of-the-Science Conferences and Workshops adhere to the
NIH Consensus Development Conference (CDC) format because
the process is useful for evaluating complex issues. In the
CDC format, NIH State-of-the-Science Statements are prepared
by a non advocate, non-Federal panel of experts, based on:
(1) presentations by investigators working in areas relevant
to the consensus questions typically during a 1-1/2-day
public session; (2) questions and statements from conference
attendees during open discussion periods that are part of
the public session, and (3) closed deliberations by the
panel during the remainder of the second day and morning of
the third. Each statement is an independent report of the
panel and is not a policy statement of the NIH or the
Federal Government.
Other
State-of-the-Science Conferences and Workshops are organized
around unique formats. Usually, speakers present findings or
perspectives on the issue. The public is invited to address
questions to the speakers. Policy implications may be
discussed. A report of the findings can emerge in one of a
variety of formats including publication in a clinical or
scientific journal.
