Closing the gap – validating and implementing new approach methodologies in a regulatory context (ValNAM) by ZonMw: Science for healthcare

ValNAM is aimed at the validation/qualification of existing animal-free, human-relevant innovations in a regulatory context.
This call aims to fund the validation of new approach methods in a regulatory context, with the ultimate goal to implement new animal-free, human relevant methods as OECD guidelines or establish qualified methods to be used in efficacy testings for new pharmaceuticals.

In this regard, projects are expected to increase in technology readiness level (TRL) during the duration of the project, thus enabling them to prepare documentation for a timely regulatory evaluation and approval, if feasible.
