From page 8...
... VALIDATION OF EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT APPROACHES Validation of the exposure assessment approach developed will be a critical part of the proposal. The committee recognizes that retrospective exposure assessment of herbicide exposures among Vietnam War veterans may, at best, be semiquantitative or rank ordered.

From page 9...
... Proposals should be specific about how the intended assessment approach could be used in epidemiologic studies and should briefly describe the types of studies envisioned. Such descriptions should provide enough detail to allow an evaluation of their potential for successful completion.
