in the following areas:
* Proposals Relating to Toxicology: Maximum grant amount is $25,000 per
year up to 2 years. Projects should be developed to provide mechanistic

refinement, and replacement alternatives* in research, testing, and education
to protect and enhance the health of the public.
CAAT MISSION
* Promote and support research in the development of in vitro and other
alternative techniques.
* Serve as a forum to foster discussion among diverse groups leading to
creative approaches to facilitate acceptance and implementation of alternatives.
* Provide reliable information on the science, philosophy, and public
policy of alternatives to academia, government, industry, and the general
public.
* Educate and train in the application of alternatives.
*Alternatives are defined as new methods that refine existing tests by
minimizing animal pain or distress, reduce animal usage, or replace whole
animal tests.
