NICEATM (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' National Toxicology Program Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods)

NICEATM, part of the National Toxicology Program under the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, works to advance safer methods for testing chemicals and products. It promotes the development and use of alternative testing methods that reduce or replace animal testing, such as computer models and cell-based assays. By assessing and validating these new approaches, NICEATM helps ensure chemical safety while supporting ethical research practices. Its goal is to improve public health by providing reliable, efficient, and humane ways to evaluate the toxicity of substances.
