The NIH has updated and expanded its content and resources regarding the use of animals in NIH-funded research. The newly designed website caters to a general audience and offers clear explanations on several key topics:
- The Reasons for Using Animals in Research
- Contributions of Animal Research to Public Health Improvements
- The Importance of Properly Designed Experiments in Animal Research and Public Health Advancements
- Standards for the Care and Welfare of Research Animals
- Adoption of Laboratory Animals After Research (new addition)
- Situations Where Alternatives to Animal Use are Employed in Research
The website also includes additional resources such as webinars, blog posts, press releases, podcasts, and links to related webpages. These resources are partially based on feedback received from previous users.
