CEFIC calls for proposals for five LRI projects

16-Jul-2010

The European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) has issued a call for proposals for five projects under its Long-range Research Initiative (LRI). The projects include:

  • Threshold of toxicological concern for inhalation exposure
  • The capacity of the endocrine system to cope with combined exposure to exogenous endocrine active substances at environmentally relevant concentrations
  • Comparison of natural and synthetic endocrine active compounds – assessment of potential combinatory effects
  • Evaluation of test methods for measuring toxicity to sediment organisms
  • Toxicogenomics as mechanistic readouts from in vitro studies

The deadline for proposals to be submitted is 31 August 2010.
