As a component of the Division on Earth and Life Studies, ILAR functions within Tthe mission of the National Academy of Sciences as an independent adviser to the federal government, the biomed­ ical research community, and the public. ILAR was founded in 1952 under the auspices of the National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences. The National Research Council serves as an independent adviser to the federal government on scientific and technical questions of national importance. Jointly administered by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, the National Research Council brings the resources of the entire scientific and technical community to bear on national problems through its volunteer advisory committees. ILAR Journal is the quarterly, peer-reviewed, theme-oriented publication of ILAR, which provides timely information for all those who use, care for, and oversee the use of animals in research. According to policy, any previously unpublished animal research reported in ILAR Journal will have been conducted according to the scientific, technical, and humanely appropriate guidelines current at the time the research was conducted, according to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Opinions expressed in this journal are not necessarily those of ILAR, the National Research Council, or the National Academy of Sciences. Publication of this special supplemental issue of the ILAR Journal was supported by funds from the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) International, the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS), IACUC 101, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) and National

  • Animal Research in the US
    BRIEFING NOTES ON ANIMAL RESEARCH Animal research in the U.S. - what, where and how much? Scientists use animals in medical, veterinary and basic research to develop treatments for humans and animals and to understand the biological processes associated with health and disease. This takes place across a range of institutions including medical and veterinary colleges, universities, teaching hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and other research facilities. There are many comparable physiological processes in humans and animals. These similarities mean that scientists can study animals as models of human biological processes and the diseases which affect them. Genetically modified (GM) animals, usually mice, rats and fish, help scientists understand the function of particular genes and genetic factors that cause diseases. Animal research programs benefit from a team of people, including veterinarians, animal technicians and scientists, who together manage day-to-day care and welfare needs of the animals. In 2016, the number of research animals covered by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) was 820,812 animals, down over 60% from around 2.2 million in 1992. By species this is: 35% hamsters and guinea pigs, 17% rabbits, 10% farm animals, 8% primates, 7% primates, and 22% other species. o These numbers do not include mice, rats, birds and fish since institutions are not required to centrally report these numbers. Given that around 93-97% of research studies in most other countries involve animals not counted under the AWA, a reasonable estimate of the annual number of vertebrate animals used in U.S. research is 12 - 27 million. Why is animal research necessary? Basic research aims to address fundamental biological questions about humans and animals.

  • “Biomedical Scientists' Recognition and Alleviation of Pain And
    “Biomedical scientists’ recognition and alleviation of pain and distress in laboratory rats and mice” Valerie Parkison, BS Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine Center for Animals and Public Policy Allen Rutberg, PhD Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine Center for Animals and Public Policy Jan E. Dizard, PhD Amherst College Department of Anthropology and Sociology Overview Scientific research on animals is a well-publicized ethical debate in our society. In part because of increasing attention to this issue, national legislation regarding laboratory animal welfare was created in 1966 with the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and has been strengthened in the recent decades with its subsequent amendments, particularly the 1985 Improved Standards for Laboratory Animals. A separate law, the Health Research Extension Act, was also passed in 1985. However, research has shown that these regulations are not implemented uniformly throughout individual laboratories and institutions. Therefore, laboratory animals are not always adequately or equally protected among institutions. This variation is mainly due to the subjective nature of what constitutes proper laboratory animal use. For example, both of the above-mentioned laws require scientists’ to recognize and minimize “pain and distress” in their research animals, but does not provide definitions of these states or directions for minimization. Therefore, because each research institution is left to its own interpretation of the regulations, the laws are difficult to enforce in a standardized manner. If the regulations are to work as intended on a broad scale, the intricacies of applying these welfare regulations must be understood by and represented from the viewpoint of those directly involved – the scientists.

  • Necessary Or Cruel? Brainstorming a Topic to Write
    Enger 1 Marie Enger Andrea Barnes WR 121-024 12 November 2010 Animal Testing: Necessary or Cruel? Brainstorming a topic to write about proved to be quite a challenge. Following the advice of my professor, I attempted to locate a subject of deep interest to me, a subject I could explore, discover, and learn from. As a Zoology major with a Pre-Veterinary option, I thought about what subjects would be handy to know in the future. After a short time scrolling through Google, I carne across the topic of animal testing. One would assume that a young lady with such a passion for animals would have an opinion on such a subject. Surprisingly, I held no such opinion; in fact, upon further examination I realized that I held absolutely no knowledge about animal research whatsoever. I realized that my knowledge of animal testing was limited to the overly opinionated comments of animal research antagonists. These animal rights activists accuse scientists who experiment on animals of being merciless and immoral. I began to wonder why I had only heard about the negative consequences of animal testing. It must be doing something good for the human race if it continues despite constant opposition from animal rights groups and the public. As I join the discussion about animal testing I hope to discover whether or not it should be a means to further medical and scientific progress. The first step to my self-education in the field of animal research was to find a source that could clearly layout all sides of the matter.
