Implementation Steering Committee
The Computational Toxicology Implementation and Steering Committee (CTISC) was formed in January 2004 with the initial charge of implementing the recently developed Framework for Computational Toxicology Research Program. The steering committee is composed of representatives from all the Labs and Centers of ORD, relevant EPA Program Offices, and the Regions. With the successful initiation of a cross ORD research program supporting the Framework, and the creation of the National Center for Computational Toxicology in February 2005, the charter of the CTISC was redefined to include the following functions:
- Serving an oversight function over the computational toxicology projects funded by the activities of the committee, and coordinating as appropriate with relevant Multi-Year Plans associated with the projects.
- Establishing partnerships external to EPA that help support the Framework as implemented in the various Labs and Centers of ORD
- Advising NCER on the formulation of ideas for new RFAs, providing suggestions for scientific peer reviewers, serving on relevancy reviews as appropriate, and keeping informed of the research progress of the STAR grants program.
- Acting in a consultancy role for activities of the National Center for Computational Toxicology
- Providing a forum for communication of computational toxicology activities across ORD and the Agency
The CTISC will be chaired by the Director of the NCCT. Membership on the committee will consist of two representatives from each of ORD Laboratories and Centers nominated by their Directors, appropriate ORD management representatives (e.g., Associate Laboratory Directors or National Program Managers from aligned programs) an ORD Regional Scientist, and representatives of the main client offices of the Computational Toxicology Program. Membership will consist of a three year term, renewable once. For information on the Computational Toxicology Program, contact Sandra Roberts, Executive Secretary of the National Center for Computational Toxicology at 919-541-3850.
