ISRTP Workshop
Progress and Barriers To Incorporating Alternative Toxicological Methods
in the U.S.

November 17 & 18, 2005
Marriott Waterfront Hotel
Baltimore, MD
 

Workshop Objective

The objective of this workshop is to explore progress to date in implementing new, revised and alternative toxicological test methods across regulatory evaluation frameworks and decision-making programs in the U.S., identify barriers to progress and explore potential bridges to facilitate overcoming such barriers. These barriers may be technical, regulatory, economic or societal.

Workshop Work Products

The workshop work products will include PowerPoint presentations to be posted on the ISRTP website as well as a written summary (to be published in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology) that will include the recommendations of the panel discussions.

Workshop Outcomes

• Better understanding of current alternatives research and validation efforts in the U.S. (who, what, objectives of research; availability of resources);

• Enhanced understanding of the environment stimulating alternatives research and how this is or is not linked with the regulatory communities who rely on test methods;

• Identification and understanding of barriers that impede progress;

• Recommendations to overcome these barriers.
