Bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical often used to produce food and drink packaging, has been linked to a variety of adverse health conditions, including cancer. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) funds studies that test substances, including BPA, for carcinogenicity and other harmful biological effects. OIG received a congressional request to review the extent to which NIEHS funds research on the safety of BPA and the processes NIEHS used in planning and funding that research.
