U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Research and Development Joins ICCVAM as New Member Agency
In October 2020, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Research and Development (VA ORD) joined ICCVAM to become the 17th ICCVAM member agency. Joining ICCVAM will help VA ORD to coordinate efforts with other federal agencies in replacing, reducing, and refining animal use. It is part of an overall agency plan to reduce animal use while improving predictions of human health hazard.
