page 2 of 2

NIEHS and NICEATM seek public input on the following questions:

  • Are these priority areas appropriate with regards to NICEATM and ICCVAM activities over the next five years?
  • Considering available science and technology, what development, translation, and validation activities are most likely to have the greatest impact within the next five years on reducing, refining, or replacing animal use in the priority areas?
  • What research and development activities hold the greatest promise in the long term for reducing, refining, or replacing animal use in the priority areas?
  • What are appropriate measures for evaluating progress in enhancing the development and use of alternative test methods in the priority areas?

All comments received will be posted on the NICEATM-ICCVAM website and identified by the individual's name and affiliation or sponsoring organization. Comments received before Jan.15, 2012, will be considered in development of the draft 2013–2017 Five-Year Plan, which will be made available for public comment later in 2012.
