Objective

This workgroup focuses on communication and transition issues as EPA phases in new predictive and testing methods over the next three to five years, including:

• Identifying ways to improve understanding and communicate complex science to all stakeholders.
• Identifying other internal and external applications of this ‘new’ science (e.g., improving agency decision-making capability by harnessing new data streams and developing new diagnostic tools and biomarkers).
• Providing process recommendations to transition to the new testing paradigm.

The Workgroup is chaired by Jennifer McLain EPA/OPP/AD.
