Background Information on the NTP 

Board of Scientific Counselors 

The NTP Board of Scientific 

Counselors (BSC) is a technical advisory 

body comprised of scientists from the 

public and private sectors who provide 

primary scientific oversight to the 

overall program and its centers. 

Specifically, the BSC advises the NTP 

on matters of scientific program content, 

both present and future, and conducts 

periodic review of the program for the 

purposes of determining and advising 

on the scientific merit of its activities 

and their overall scientific quality. The 

TRR Subcommittee is a standing 

subcommittee of the BSC. BSC members 

are selected from recognized authorities 

knowledgeable in fields such as 

toxicology, pharmacology, pathology, 

biochemistry, epidemiology, risk 

assessment, carcinogenesis, 

mutagenesis, molecular biology, 

behavioral toxicology and 

neurotoxicology, immunotoxicology, 

reproductive toxicology or teratology, 

and biostatistics. Its members are 

invited to serve overlapping terms of up 

to four years. BSC and TRR 

Subcommittee meetings are held 

annually or biannually.
