How NICEATM Supports ICCVAM
During 2024 and 2025, NICEATM, an office within the NIEHS Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT), provided technical and scientific support for ICCVAM and ICCVAM workgroup activities, peer review panels, expert panels, workshops, and validation efforts.
In addition to providing support for ICCVAM, NICEATM:
- Supported activities of the NIEHS Division of Translational Toxicology, especially those contributing to the U.S. government’s interagency Tox21 initiative
- Conducted analyses and evaluations and coordinated independent validation studies on novel and high-priority alternative testing approaches
- Provided information, data, and tools to test method developers, regulators, and regulated industry through its website and workshops on topics of interest
