Abstract

There has been considerable work over the past 20 years designed to bring about a paradigm shift in regulatory toxicology from chemical risk management decisions based on data from animal studies to a “Next Generation Risk Assessments” (NGRAs) system founded on New Approach Methods (NAMs). The perceived potential benefits of NAMs that are driving the paradigm shift include better protection of humans and the environment, the reduction of animal testing, and ultimately, a faster and more cost-effective test systems for evaluating chemical safety. In this article, we introduce the “Collaboration to Harmonise the Assessment of Next Generation Evidence” (CHANGE) project, a new initiative that seeks to design system-level interventions for bringing forward the date of effective use of NAMs, explaining its goals, approach, project management, governance, and funding.
