Major Activities

Activity 2

Education program and outreach program: iivs expanded its training program to provide 3 levels of service which are appropriate for a range of scientists from hands-on technicians to regulators. We also participated in science programs at local elementary schools and provided lectures to university graduate students. Iivs hosted a 3-day workshop for brazilian regulators and other scientists in which we demonstrated in vitro methods that have been accepted by the international community through the organization for economic cooperation and development. To provide information on non-animal testing to additional stakeholders, iivs continued to update the functions of its web-site and continued evolving its social media program to involve more members of the general public. Iivs's president and vice president participated on international committees which review non-animal test methods and provided expert opinion on their utility and readiness for acceptance by government agencies. Through its new international outreach program, iivs senior staff shared (through meetings and workshops) the us perspective on the use of non-animal methods with regulators from china, brazil and russia. In order to reach a larger community of scientists iivs staff are members of the board of directors of a new scientific society: american society for cellular and computational toxicology. This society provided its membership with information (including 2 webinars) on a wide array of alternative methods including in vitro, in silico and computational modeling.
