ACTION:
Notice.
The Interagency Coordinating
Committee on the Validation of
Alternative Methods (ICCVAM)
announces a public webinar ‘‘New
Approach Methodologies to Assess
(Developmental) Neurotoxicity.’’ The
webinar is organized on behalf of
ICCVAM by the National Toxicology
Program Interagency Center for the
Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological
Methods (NICEATM). Interested persons
may participate via the web meeting
platform. Time will be allotted for
questions from the audience.
Information about the webinar and
registration are available at https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/commprac-2022.
DATES:
Webinar: January 25, 2022, 10:00 a.m.
to approximately 11:30 a.m. EST.
Registration for Webinar: January 4,
2022, until 11:30 a.m. EST January 25,
2022.
Registration to view the webinar is
required.
ADDRESSES: Webinar web page: https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: ICCVAM promotes the
development and validation of toxicity
testing methods that protect human
health and the environment while
replacing, reducing, or refining animal
use. ICCVAM also provides guidance to
test method developers and facilitates
collaborations that promote the
development of new test methods. To
address these goals, ICCVAM will hold
a Communities of Practice webinar on

‘‘New Approach Methodologies to
Assess (Developmental) Neurotoxicity.’’
The nervous system has unique
characteristics and can have different
sensitivity to toxic substances compared
to other organ systems. Effects of
chemicals on the nervous system can be
affected by concurrent exposures to
other substances. During early life
stages, exposure to neuroactive drugs
and environmental toxins can interact
and/or interfere with developmental
processes of the brain, which can in
turn result in structural and/or
functional alterations. Traditional
(developmental) neurotoxicity tests use
mammals, but the high cost and low
throughput of these tests make them
impractical to use for all chemicals of
potential concern. In addition, it is
challenging to correlate the
interpretation of animal data to complex
human neurological effects. Therefore,
interest is increasing in exploring
human cell-based assays, computational
systems, and other alternatives to
traditional animal tests that can be used
to predict chemical effects on the
developing and adult nervous system.
‘‘New approach methodologies’’
(NAMs) refers to any non-animal
technology or approach, or combination
of these, that can be used to provide
information on chemical hazard and
risk assessment. This webinar will
discuss NAMs that are being considered
or developed for assessing potential
effects of chemicals on the nervous
system. Key insights and ongoing
activities will be described in two
presentations featuring speakers from
U.S. federal research and regulatory
agencies. The preliminary agenda and
additional information about
presentations will be posted at https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/commprac-2022 as
available.
Webinar and Registration: This
webinar is open to the public with time
scheduled for questions by participants
following each presentation.
Registration for the webinar is required
and will be open from January 4, 2022,
through 11:30 a.m. EST on January 25,
2022. Registration is available at https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/commprac-2022.
Interested individuals are encouraged to
visit this web page to stay abreast of the
most current webinar information.
Registrants will receive instructions on
how to access and participate in the
webinar in the email confirming their
registration.

and NICEATM: ICCVAM is an
interagency committee composed of
representatives from 17 federal
regulatory and research agencies that
