The Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS) is a nonprofit organization focused on advancing alternative testing methods, with an emphasis on in vitro approaches used to support toxicological safety evaluations for both industry and government. It operates through three integrated centers of excellence—Science, Education, and Outreach—creating a collaborative forum for researchers, regulators, industry stakeholders, and animal-protection groups to advance scientific methods and animal welfare. Based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and founded in 1997, IIVS emphasizes rigorous scientific and compliance programs as the foundation of its work.

IIVS serves clients in industry and government seeking to explore or systematically integrate alternatives within their testing programs, and it offers resources to help institutions build and implement such strategies. Education and outreach are positioned as core components to advance science and widen acceptance of non-animal approaches among regulators and other stakeholders. A recent development includes a 2026 collaboration that introduced an AI model, developed with Osmo, aimed at eliminating animal testing in skin irritation assessments.
