Revisiting and updating chemical categorizations with new approach methods (NAMs)

Overall goal/objectives:

To integrate and utilize NAM-based data streams for chemical category development and to refine existing chemical categories used by both ecological and human health risk assessors. The primary objective is to identify new potential chemical groupings through their prediction with a developed consensus mode-of-action model. Secondary focus is to integrate the model with additional lines of evidence to provide guidance on assessment factors for ecological risk assessments.
