Objectives

1. To critique and review published papers on all aspects of tobacco and related products' use behaviour, and publish the critical reviews in peer-reviewed journals.
2. To examine unpublished reports and work on the subject within Member Organisations, with a view to recommending publication in peer-reviewed journals.
3. To identify gaps in total information and suggest suitable work to provide the necessary information.

Objectives

1. To compile and review information on in vitro toxicity testing and apply learnings to further biological research.
2. To organise and conduct periodically proficiency testing of tobacco and tobacco related products.

Objectives

1. To develop a robust understanding of mechanistic pathways and clinical outcomes for smoking-related diseases to better identify fit-for-purpose biomarkers.
2. To review and summarise published literature on biomarkers that are fit-for-purpose in the assessment of potential reduced risk tobacco products (PRRPs).
3. To evaluate and recommend guidelines and best practice for utilising fit-for-purpose biomarkers in studies assessing PRRPs.

Objectives

1. To propose and maintain CORESTA Recommended Methods (CRMs) and related documents for the analysis of smoke constituents from combustible tobacco products other than cigar TNCO.
2. To organise the manufacture of and maintain CORESTA Monitor Test Pieces.

Objectives

To provide guidance on how to develop, validate, select, access and use consumer-reported outcome measures (CROM) to evaluate tobacco and nicotine-containing products for pre-market and post-market purposes:
-  By reviewing existing information on measures
-  By developing guidance on the development and validation of measures
-  By creating a knowledge repository to store measures and facilitate identification and access
Through a cooperation platform involving tobacco industry and the guidance of academia and regulatory agency stakeholders

Objectives

1. To review emerging technologies and application to Next Generation Products (NGP) testing.
2. To identify appropriate approaches and application of emerging technologies to NGP testing.
3. To provide guidance documents to support assay application for NGP testing using toxicity testing in the 21st century (TT21C) relevant assays.
