National Institutes of Health
The Use of Chimpanzees in NIHSupported Research
This notice provides
information on the National Institutes of
Health’s (NIH) reassessment of the need
to maintain a colony of 50 chimpanzees
for future research and decision to no
longer maintain a chimpanzee colony
for research. This notice also provides
information on conforming updates and
procedures related to this action.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
Division of Program Coordination,
Planning, and Strategic Initiatives,
Office of the Director, National
Institutes of Health at dpcpsi@
od.nih.gov.
SUMMARY:

On
November 18, 2015, the NIH announced
it will no longer maintain a colony of 50
chimpanzees for future research and
that all NIH-owned chimpanzees that
reside outside the federal sanctuary
system operated by Chimp Haven,
Keithville, Louisiana, are eligible for
retirement. Relocation of the
chimpanzees to the federal sanctuary
system will be conducted as space is
available and on a timescale that will
allow for optimal transition of each
individual chimpanzee with careful
consideration of their welfare, including
their health and social grouping. See the
NIH Director’s statement at https://www.
nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/nihdirector/statements/nih-will-no-longersupport-biomedical-researchchimpanzees. Consistent with this
decision, the NIH is limiting its future
support for research using chimpanzees
to that which would be permissible in
the federal sanctuary system under the
Chimpanzee Health Improvement,
Maintenance and Protection (CHIMP)
Act and the implementing regulations at
42 CFR part 9. Such research must
either be noninvasive behavioral studies
or medical studies based on information
collected during the course of normal
veterinary care that is provided for the
benefit of the chimpanzee, provided that
any such study involves minimal
physical and mental harm, pain,
distress, and disturbance to the

chimpanzee and the social group in
which the chimpanzee lives.
Specifically, permissible research, as
described in the ‘‘Standards of Care for
Chimpanzees Held in the Federally
Supported Chimpanzee Sanctuary
System’’ at 42 CFR part 9, includes:
• Visual observation;
• Behavioral studies designed to
improve the establishment and
maintenance of social groups. These
activities may cause stress as a result of
novel interactions between chimpanzees
and caregivers, but they are not
considered invasive as long as they are
intended to maximize the well-being of
the chimpanzees;
• Medical examinations as deemed
necessary to oversee the health of the
chimpanzees, in the least invasive
manner possible. Collection of samples
routinely obtained during a physical
examination for processing during this
time is also considered noninvasive
since a separate event is not required;
• Administration and evaluation of
environmental enrichment used to
promote the psychological well-being of
the chimpanzees; and
• Actions taken to provide essential
medical treatment to an individual
chimpanzee exhibiting symptoms of
illness. This applies only to serious
illness that cannot be treated while the
chimpanzee remains within the colony.
• Observational studies and
collection of biomaterial in the wild
without interfering with the chimpanzee
is also permitted.
These decisions apply to all new or
competing renewals of grant
applications, contract proposals,
intramural protocols, and 3rd party
projects. The NIH may issue future
guidance about the permissible
noninvasive research involving
chimpanzees. Researchers are
encouraged to contact their program
officers for additional information or the
Division of Program Coordination,
Planning, and Strategic Initiatives at
[email protected].
The NIH’s decision to allow the
support of noninvasive research
involving the use of chimpanzees, as
described in this notice, does not affect
requirements for investigators and/or
their institutions to obtain permits from
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, if
applicable, nor does it affect the
responsibility to meet all applicable
veterinary, colony, and husbandry
obligations.
