and NTP. Emphasis will be on change <strong>of</strong> direction or new initiatives that may<br />
impact the practice <strong>of</strong> toxicology in the future. Speakers will also identify<br />
opportunities for non-agency toxicologists to participate in the initiatives <strong>of</strong> the<br />
agency.<br />
• New Direction for Intramural and Extramural Research, Dr. Ken<br />
Olden, NIEHS.<br />
• Changed Emphasis <strong>of</strong> NTP Based on the Recent Vision and Road Map,<br />
