Current Directions and Evolving Strategies

国家毒理学计划（NTP）是一个跨部门计划，其目标是在卫生和人类服务部内协调毒理学测试，开发改进的测试方法，并将有关环境中潜在有害物质的信息传达给卫生研究和监管机构，医学和科学界以及公众。该合同将支持编写一本关于国家毒物控制计划的小册子，确定国家毒物控制计划的危害识别和危害评估活动，目的是预防因环境接触化学或物理制剂而引起的疾病或不利影响。它包括关于组织、科学和政策监督、当前测试和研究领域以及致癌物报告分析活动、生殖和发育以及替代测试方法的信息。这本小册子是一个交流工具，为广大读者编写，并以印刷和电子形式广泛分发。

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) is an interagency program, whose goals within the Department of Health and Human Services, are to coordinate toxicology testing, develop improved testing methods, and communicate information about potentially hazardous substances in our environment to health research and regulatory agencies, medical and scientific communities, and the public. This contract is to provide support preparation of a booklet about the NTP, identifying its NTP hazard identification and hazard assessment activities targeted toward the prevention of diseases or adverse effects caused by environmental exposure to chemical or physical agents. It includes information on organization, scientific and policy oversight, current areas for testing and research, and analysis activities for the Report on Carcinogens, reproduction and development, and alternative test methods. This booklet is a communication tool, prepared for a broad audience, and distributed widely in printed and electronic formats.
