National Toxicology Program Review of Current DHHS, DOE, and EPA Research Relatedto Toxicology, Fiscal Year 1996

摘要

The Annual Plan for the National Toxicology Program requires an annual review oftoxicology-related research supported by DHHS agencies. Four of the five Public Health Service Agencies support research related to toxicology. Within the National Institutes of Health alone, sixteen separate institutes and several other components support relevant research. Toxicology-related research is also conducted by other Federal agencies--particularly the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). An overall review is thought to be of considerable interest to research managers for purposes of coordinating research and reducing unnecessary duplication. This is the seventeenth review responding to this requirement. For the fifteenth time a survey of similar research at DOE and the EPA is included.
