National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD and online
Agenda (updated May 16)
Slides are available below under "Presentations." Videos from the meeting will be posted on this page and all registrants will be emailed when they are available.
ICCVAM’s goals include promotion of national and international partnerships between governmental and nongovernmental groups, including academia, industry, advocacy groups, and other key stakeholders. To foster these partnerships ICCVAM holds annual public forums to share information and facilitate direct communication of ideas and suggestions from stakeholders.
This event was held in person at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD, with an option for remote viewing. Representatives of seven ICCVAM member agencies described their agencies' activities both to advance new approaches to safety testing of chemicals and medical products and to reduce the amount of testing required. Registered participants asked clarifying or follow-up questions of the ICCVAM members about their presentations during the meeting, and representatives of 12 organizations presented public statements relevant to ICCVAM activities.
