Descriptiontext

The Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) is a nonprofit professional membership organization founded in 1980 and registered under Section 501(c)(3), domiciled in the District of Columbia with operational headquarters at 950 Herndon Parkway, Suite 450, Herndon, Virginia. Its mission is to advance the science and practice of risk analysis through an open, multidisciplinary forum spanning risk assessment, characterization, communication, management, and policy. The society publishes Risk Analysis: An International Journal through Wiley and serves researchers, federal and state regulators (USDA, FDA, EPA and equivalents), private-sector risk practitioners, and students across six continents.

SRA's product surface centers on membership (four classes: Full, Supporting, Reduced Fee, and Student on annual billing cycles), the Wiley-published journal, an Annual Meeting (Atlanta, December 6-10, 2026), a World Congress, regional conferences (SRA-ANZ Sydney, January 27-29, 2027; SRA Asia Taipei, August 20-21, 2026), 16 specialty groups covering domains such as Ecological Risk Assessment, Microbial Risk Analysis, Resilience Analysis, and Risk Policy and Law, and 10+ regional organizations including chapters in Europe (Nordic, Benelux, Iberian, DACHL), Africa, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, Latin America, and four US regions. Supporting resources include archived webinars, podcasts on Libsyn, teaching materials, and the Pantheon of Risk Analysis honoring field pioneers.

The business model is a subscription-based nonprofit: recurring membership dues, journal subscription revenue (the largest scholarly channel via Wiley), and transaction-based conference and regional meeting fees. Operations are run through a contracted Secretariat (BurkInc), led by Executive Secretary Brett Burk and Managing Director Jill Drupa. Distribution is primarily digital via sra.org, a member portal, Wiley Online Library, and an unusually broad social media footprint (X, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Threads), complemented by in-person events and 10+ regional chapters that act as community resellers. Strategic posture emphasizes governance modernization, deeper Asia-Pacific institutional partnerships, and continued specialty-group and awards expansion rather than technology or M&A activity.

SraOccupational Health and Safety - Society for Risk AnalysisThe Society for Risk Analysis describes the activities of its Occupational Health and Safety Specialty Group (OHSSG), which addresses the high levels of disease, injury, and stress risks in workplaces compared to non-work environments. The group focuses on complex science-policy issues such as genetic screening ethics, hazard thresholds, and cumulative risk assessment methods like Bayesian inference.PR NewswireRisk Analysis Powers Air Pollution SolutionsResearch presentations at the 2019 Society for Risk Analysis Annual Meeting showcased new approaches to measuring and tracking air pollutants to reduce public health risks, including a Hong Kong-based study using portable sensors to quantify personal air pollution exposure and developing a smartphone app for real-time exposure forecasting.PR NewswireSocial Media Contributes To Increased Perception Of Food Technology As Risky BusinessStudies presented at the 2019 Society for Risk Analysis Annual Meeting indicate that social media disinformation significantly contributes to consumer mistrust of food technologies, particularly genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Research highlights a disconnect between scientific consensus on safety and negative media portrayals, with some alternative health sites gaining more engagement than traditional media outlets. These findings suggest that improving communication strategies could lower market entry costs and reduce consumer rejection of new agricultural technologies.PR NewswireReducing Wildfire Risks For Better Management And Resource AllocationResearchers from the Society for Risk Analysis presented findings at the 2019 SRA Annual Meeting in Arlington, Virginia, on December 10, focusing on strategies to improve wildfire risk management and resource allocation. A study by Esther Jose and Dr. Jun Zhuang from the University at Buffalo found that Oregon has conducted the most effective prescribed fires, while the U.S. Forest Service is the most successful agency at performing them; another study by Harry Podschwit from the University of Washington-Seattle examined how wildfire characteristics can serve as predictors for firefighting resource demand. The research addresses growing concerns that wildfire management costs have reached $21 billion over 20 years and resources are becoming increasingly strained as fires grow larger and more expensive.PR NewswireNatural Toxins In The Global Food Supply Continue To Threaten The Health Of Underprivileged CommunitiesThe Society for Risk Analysis presented new studies at its 2019 Annual Meeting quantifying for the first time the global disease burden from foodborne arsenic, lead, cadmium, and methyl mercury, finding over one million illnesses, 56,000 deaths, and more than nine million disability-adjusted life years in 2015. Research by Felicia Wu of Michigan State University found that aflatoxin, which causes up to 155,000 liver cancer cases annually, also impairs immune responses and may explain poor vaccine efficacy in low-income countries. A separate study by Clark Carrington estimated that lead in food reduces average IQ by approximately one point globally.PR NewswireStrategies To Lower Risk For Violent Crime And Gun ViolenceResearchers at the Society for Risk Analysis annual meeting on December 9, 2019 presented studies on strategies to reduce violent crime and gun violence, including a novel agent-based simulation model from Iowa State University examining optimal civilian responses during active shooter situations. The study found that a combined strategy of some civilians hiding and some evacuating produces the best outcomes, and that reducing police response time by one minute decreases civilian casualties by approximately 10-15 percent, while faster civilian response reduces casualties by 5-7 percent. A related study from the University of Stavanger examined the effectiveness of counterterrorism measures and emphasized the need for decision-makers to weigh benefits and uncertainties before implementing countermeasures.PR NewswireMunicipal Wastewater Holds The Key To Tracking Opioid Intervention InitiativesTwo studies presented at the 2018 Society for Risk Analysis Annual Meeting explored how municipal wastewater testing can track real-time drug use as an alternative to slow, self-reported surveys on opioid consumption. Researchers from Mathematica Policy Research and the University of Massachusetts demonstrated that wastewater-based epidemiology provides faster, cost-effective, and unbiased data on community drug patterns. This methodology could help state and local officials predict shifts in drug use and better evaluate the effectiveness of intervention programs targeting the U.S. opioid epidemic, which claims over 130 lives daily.PR NewswireBeing Employed Puts Your Health At RiskThe Society for Risk Analysis will host a symposium at its 2018 Annual Meeting to review occupational risk analysis topics, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy in the NFL and dermal exposure to metals. Presenters from academic institutions and private firms will discuss risk assessment methodologies and regulatory implications for worker health. The event aims to advance industrial hygiene practices and address challenges posed by new occupational hazards.PR NewswireThe Health Risks Of Being Employed Are Changing In The U.S. And GloballyThe Society for Risk Analysis is hosting a symposium to present research on how large corporations and industries transfer occupational health risks to smaller contractors, temporary workers, and informal sectors in developing economies. The studies highlight specific cases in the U.S. nail salon and staffing industries, as well as global garment manufacturing and e-waste recycling in countries like Ghana, Chile, and Thailand.PR NewswireCan Rice And Flushing The Toilet Be Slowly Poisoning You?Researchers from Indiana University, Michigan State University, and the University of North Carolina presented findings at the 2018 Society for Risk Analysis Annual Meeting regarding health risks associated with arsenic in rice, carcinogens in barbecued meat, and water quality issues in green buildings. The studies highlight that high bioaccessibility of inorganic arsenic in rice poses long-term cancer and developmental risks, while efficient plumbing in net-zero homes may increase water age and promote pathogen growth.
