... For the purposes of this report, the committee defines research needs as research that will increase our understanding of the potential adverse effects of RF energy on humans. Research gaps are defined as areas of research where the committee judges that scientific data that have potential value are presently lacking, but that ���������������������������������������������������� closing of these gaps is either ongoing and results should be awaited before judgments are made on further research needs, or the gaps are not judged by the committee to be of as high a priority with respect to �������������������������������������������������� directly addressing health concerns��������������� at this time.� The research needs and gaps identified by the committee are presented in abbreviated form in the report Summary and in more detail in the text.
