Altweb, the Alternatives to Animal Testing Web Site, was created to serve as a gateway to alternatives news, information, and resources on the Internet and beyond.
The content of Altweb was archived in 2019 and some of it moved to the CAAT website.
Altweb was intended to serve biomedical researchers, industry, the international alternatives community, the international regulatory community, IACUCs and other institutional groups that review animal protocols, the animal welfare community, individuals and groups who work with laboratory animals (technicians, veterinarians, etc.), educators, students and the general public.
- to assist scientists and others seeking to conduct a search for alternatives methods
- to serve as a CRP (central reference point) for alternatives information, publications, databases, calendars, and other resources
- to support the creation and maintenance of new alternative resources as needed, when no other organization can/will do so
- to promote the use of alternatives resources by publicizing them on the site and through e-mail or other outreach
- to facilitate communication and collaboration among members of the alternatives community, in particular those who work in database or information management.
