In FY 2002, Congress addressed the need for support of analytical methods and reference materials development related to dietary supplements. Senate appropriation language for that year called for: "ODS to allocate sufficient funds to speed up an ongoing collaborative effort to develop and disseminate validated analytical methods and reference materials for the most commonly used botanicals and other dietary supplements." In response, ODS established the Analytical Methods and Reference Materials Program (AMRM).

The purpose of this ODS-sponsored meeting is to present the progress that has been made by the AMRM since its inception five years ago (see Background) and to receive comments on the future directions for the next five years. The meeting is intended as a forum for stakeholder comments that will assist ODS with the continued implementation of an overall strategy for research, development, validation, and dissemination of analytical methods and standard reference materials for dietary supplement ingredients.
