SUMMARY:
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) at the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) requests available data and information
on approaches and/or technologies currently used to identify substances with
the potential to cause excessive inflammation or exaggerated immune responses
leading to tissue injury when swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin.
Submitted information will be used to assess the state of the science and
determine technical needs for non-animal test methods that could be used to
evaluate the potential of chemicals to induce inflammation and immune-related
conditions.
DATES:
Receipt of information: Deadline is December 12, 2016.
ADDRESSES:
Data and information should be submitted electronically at
http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/input.
