SUMMARY: The multiagency Tox21 Initiative aims to improve hazard
assessment of compounds potentially harmful to humans and the
environment. This will be accomplished through the use of integrated
high throughput screens that provide information on the ability of a
substance to perturb biological pathways related to toxicity. On behalf
of the Tox21 Consortium and its Assays and Pathways Working Group, the
NTP Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological
Methods (NICEATM) is accepting nominations for HTS biochemical- or
cell-based assays. Assays selected for further evaluation and found to
be compatible with the HTS program will support Tox21 by providing data
on endpoints that serve as markers for initiating or downstream events
in toxicity pathways.
DATES: The nomination of HTS assays to Tox21 is an ongoing process and
will continue to remain open. Periodic updates to this notice may be
posted to reflect new focus areas of the Tox21 HTS program.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nominations of assays should be
submitted online at http://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov/contact/Tox21-nomination.htm
