      ACT is a global community of professional scientists representing the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, regulatory agencies, contract research organizations, academia, and consulting firms. The mission of the College is to educate, lead, and serve scientists by promoting the exchange of relevant information and perspectives on safety assessment and new developments related to applied toxicology. The Annual Meeting is the heart of ACT. They value the opportunity to bring together a community of toxicologists for engaging in the exchange of ideas, professional networking, and continuing education. Their first-rate scientific sessions are member-driven, pharma-focused (though not pharma-exclusive) and organized to maximize learning opportunities. The welcoming and collegial atmosphere of the Annual Meeting is a hallmark of ACT. The 41st Annual Meeting will include a wide-ranging scientific program, distinguished plenary speakers, the popular poster session and exhibition hall, an awards ceremony, and numerous virtual professional networking events.

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
