Advisory Board & Committees
The NTP relies upon advice from external groups and ad hoc panels. The formal advisory committees to the program include:
- NTP Executive Committee
- NTP Board of Scientific Counselors
- Scientific Advisory Committee on Alternative Toxicological Methods (SACATM)
As needed, the program convenes Special Emphasis Panels and Working Groups to address specific topics.
