and advising on the process for closing
studies if any do not comply with the
IOM recommendations. For example:
Criteria to assess ‘‘minimally invasive’’
procedures for comparative genomics
and behavioral research and
‘‘ethologically appropriate’’ physical
and social environments; Criteria to
balance phasing out of the existing
research without causing ‘‘unacceptable
losses to research programs’’ or an
unacceptable ‘‘impact on the animals’’.
• Factors to consider when advising
on the size and placement of active and
inactive populations of NIH-owned orsupported chimpanzees as a result of
implementing the IOM
recommendations. For example: Ways
to address capacity issues that would
accompany an increase in ‘inactive’
animals; Factors to consider in
transitioning the animals that are newly
inactive; How many and what would be
the characteristics of animals held in
reserve for future research, if any; The
number of animals needed to maintain
a viable number of research naı¨ve
animals but also genetic and social
stability and sufficient diversity for
unanticipated research needs.
• A review process for considering
whether potential future use of the
chimpanzee in NIH-supported research
is scientifically necessary and consistent
with the IOM principles. For example:
Factors to consider in determining
whether other models (e.g., in vitro,
other in vivo) would be a ‘‘suitable
model’’ for answering the research
question; Research areas where
alternative model development is
recommended; Whether NIH should
have a plan to maintain a minimal
population of federally-owned
chimpanzees and input on the design of
the plan; Circumstances under which
chimpanzees should be considered as a
model for ‘‘a new, emerging, or
reemerging disease or disorder that may
present challenges to treatment,
prevention, and/or control that defy
non-chimpanzee models and available
technologies’’; Characteristics of the
oversight committee responsible for
reviewing future research proposals and
determining whether they are consistent
with the IOM criteria and whether they
can be conducted.
Information Requested: To ensure a
thorough and comprehensive evaluation
of the issues underlying the
implementation of the IOM Report’s
guiding principles and criteria and the
size and placement of NIH-owned or
-supported animals, input is being
sought from the biomedical research
community, including:
• Foundations
• Scientific societies
