The Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) is initiating a Horizon Scanning effort to advance the science and application of the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) framework. SOT has joined this effort by encouraging SOT members to submit input. This Horizon Scanning approach is used to identify and begin to address recognized, ongoing, and remaining issues relevant to the application of the AOP framework to chemical risk assessment in the context of both human and ecological health. The questions are essential for developing themes to be addressed during an upcoming, expert-led, 2017 Pellston Workshop.
Workshop results will be publically disseminated in the form of publications and international presentations at professional meetings. Thus, SOT members are encouraged to propose questions that consider key outstanding challenges or limitations that must be addressed in order to realize the full potential of the AOP framework in research and regulatory decision-making. You can submit your questions on the SETAC website.
