Traditional animal-based toxicological methods come with many concerns, including translatability and reproducibility, which NAMs are aptly positioned to address. The NAM Use for Regulatory Application (NURA) program aims to bridge this educational gap by providing training to toxicologists, method developers, regulators, and legislators on the use of NAMs, helping to build confidence in NAM use and facilitate the shift to more human-based methods.  a1879-3169
