Welcome to NURA!

A training portal for New Approach Methodology (NAM) Use for Regulatory Applications

New Approach Methodology (NAM) Use for Regulatory Application (NURA) is a continuing education program designed to provide professionals in the field of toxicology with specialized resources and basic hands-on training in nonanimal new approach methodologies. NURA offers trainings, seminars, and other events to encourage the use of nonanimal approaches within various regulatory frameworks. In 2018, NURA kicked off its inaugural event with a training geared toward nonanimal NAM use under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). TSCA includes historic provisions to replace and reduce the use of animals in chemical testing.


Our ongoing goal is to unite industry, government, academia, and other interested stakeholders to promote regulatory NAM development and implementation via trainings and seminars. Once checked against the requirements of various domestic and international certifying and licensing boards, attendance or participation at NURA events can be applied toward continuing education credits.


With this platform, you can now navigate our long-form NURA content at your own pace, one presentation at a time, and the platform will keep track of your progress. Find, skip, or replay presentations easily, and earn certificates upon course completion that may be submitted for continuing education credits. As we work to expand the reach and accessibility of NURA resources, we are excited to share that our new platform also features English and Spanish subtitle options.

Additional NURA courses will continue to be added.
