ALTBIB - Additional Resources
NICEATM is an office within the NIEHS Division of Translational Toxicology that focuses on the development and evaluation of alternatives to animal use for chemical safety testing. NICEATM provides support to ICCVAM, an interagency committee of the federal government that facilitates collaborations to promote the development, regulatory acceptance, and use of approaches that replace, reduce or refine use of animal test methods.
NICEATM, ICCVAM, and ICCVAM member agencies partner with a broad range of stakeholder groups to advance development and acceptance of alternative methods. Links to resources provided by these groups are available below.
