- Administrative issues on submissions and requests to HPRA
- Final reminder on statistical returns submission and a word stressing that the submissions must include actual severity experienced by animals over prospective. This might require several entries (rows) in the returns document, please include them.
- CPD solutions and the expectation that researchers complete ETPLAS e-learning modules that can be found here https://etplas.eu
- ECVAM and other replacement options updates in in vitro cellular and developmental Biology are very good resources worth dedicating your time.
- Other useful links on webinars, event, updates, wikis that makes this update a relevant and a very useful reading.
In this occasion, please focus your attention on the NTPS take home messages:
- From 01.01.2021 all NTPS must be completed using a EC Excel template.
- Since a EC draft guidance was not available, the SAP Team -HPRA generated a word document, currently available on their website.
- The SAP Team -HPRA will transfer the information in the word documents of the projects already submitted to the EC Excel template.
- The EC Excel template will be available mid-March 2021
- From 12-4-21 all NTPs will need to be submitted in this template.
