The purpose of this project is to conduct chemical disposition

studies in mammals to support the bioassay program of the National

Toxicology Program (NTP).  The general objective of this project is

to procure detailed chemical disposition data from a number of

studies (approximately three to five annually) of selected

environmental contaminants or model compounds in laboratory rats

(Fischer 344) and or mice (B6C3F1).  Most studies will address the

disposition of organic chemicals or environmental contaminants;

however, studies of inorganic compounds may also be requested.  One

or more additional studies per year may investigate the comparative

metabolism of chemicals in human and rat liver slices in vitro.

Individual studies may vary in complexity from preliminary

investigations of chemical absorption to detailed studies of all

phases of chemical disposition, toxicokinetics, and metabolism.

 

The immediate goal of these studies is to determine more accurately

the doses for NTP bioassay studies.  The long-range goal is the

accumulation of data that will permit a better assessment of

structure-activity relationships chemical absorption, metabolism and

disposition in laboratory animals and to better compare metabolic

pathways in laboratory animals and humans.  Award of up to two cost

reimbursement, term form, level of effort type contracts with a

period of performance of five years are contemplated as a result of

this solicitation.  The Government estimates approximately 1.75

professional and 2.75 technical for a total of 4.5 person years per

year for each contract award.
