- ICCVAM (http://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov/) – Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods
- ICCVAM Develop and validate new test methods; establish criteria and processes for the validation and regulatory acceptance of toxicological testing methods; generate, use, or provide information from toxicity test methods for risk assessment purposes.
- INVITTOX (http://ecvam.jrc.it/index.htm)
- Data bank of in vitro techniques in toxicology. The aim of INVITTOX protocols is to present precise and up-to-date technical information of the performance of the in vitro techniques currently in use and under development, their applications, advantages and drawbacks. The information is obtained directly from those scientists already employing such methods. Each protocol includes a detailed methodology sufficient to enable another researcher to carry out a procedure, experimental data, where available, the rationale for choice of technique and endpoint, and critical assessment comments about the accuracy of the system, its sensitivity, ease of implementation, shortcomings, etc.
