In conjunction with the Public Forum, NICEATM will offer a hands-on training session on data and tools available in the Integrated Chemical Environment on Wednesday, May 22 at the Natcher Conference Center. This session is in-person only and space is very limited. Register by Friday, May 17.

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 will be held in person at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD, with an option for remote viewing. Representatives of ICCVAM member agencies will describe 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 may ask clarifying or follow-up questions of the ICCVAM members about their presentations during the meeting. Interested stakeholders are also invited to present statements relevant to the ICCVAM mission and current activities. Time will be allotted during the meeting for oral public statements with associated slides; register by May 15 to present an oral public statement. The number and length of presentations may be limited based on available time. Written statements on topics relevant to ICCVAM’s mission may be submitted to support an oral public statement or as standalone documents. These should be emailed to [email protected] by May 15. View NTP guidelines for public statements.
