SciPinion Center for Epidemiology Integrity
The Center for Epidemiology Integrity provides thought leadership in best practices for epidemiological research and evidence evaluation. By assembling panels of experts in epidemiology, statistics, medicine, exposure assessment, and related disciplines, the center employs modified Delphi processes to elicit collective scientific wisdom on methodological considerations in epidemiology study design and interpretation. These expert panels evaluate the weight of epidemiological evidence for specific exposures and health outcomes, informing deliberations regarding cancer classifications and helping stakeholders assess the validity of claims concerning chemical, drug, cosmetic, and food ingredient exposures and their associations with human health effects.

Future Development
SciPinion Center for Energy Thought Leadership
This center represents a planned expansion of SciPinion’s Centers of Excellence into energy science and policy. As energy systems evolve and questions surrounding sustainability, safety, and environmental impact grow increasingly complex, this center will bring SciPinion’s triple-blinded peer review methodology to critical questions in energy technology assessment, environmental impact evaluation, and evidence synthesis for energy policy decisions. Further details regarding scope and focus areas will be developed as this center takes shape.
