Core Support for the Institute of Laboratory Animal Research

这一行动为国家科学院实验动物研究所（ILAR）的持续核心支持提供了资金。ILAR是制定和传播实验动物护理、繁殖和使用指南（包括国际公认的标准《实验动物护理和使用指南》）的公认领导者；确定生物研究动物模型的资源；以及关于人道和科学地使用实验动物的报告。任务包括教育和培训科学家和技术人员照顾和使用实验动物；减轻实验动物的疼痛和痛苦；雇员的职业安全和健康；以及近亲繁殖、转基因和其他基因定义动物的命名。该项目的目标是提高实验动物的人道和科学有效使用，以及用于研究的实验动物的可用性、质量和护理。ILAR通过一个由工作人员执行的核心计划和一个由国家科学院任命的专家执行的特别项目计划来实现其目标。这两个项目都由一个由实验动物医学、生理学、遗传学、医学、生物伦理学以及相关生物和生物医学科学专家组成的16人顾问委员会指导。众多赞助商资助ILAR？年代操作。NSF提供的资金部分用于支持网站的维护、ILAR期刊的出版、科学会议的展览、理事会的工作和一般办公室的运作。ilar赞助的活动的许多和重要的更广泛的影响通过扩展到世界科学界而延伸到美国科学界之外。

This action funds a continuation of core support for the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) at the National Academies of Science. ILAR is the recognized leader in developing and disseminating guidelines for laboratory animal care, breeding, and use, including the internationally accepted standard Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals); resources for identifying animal models for biological research; and reports on the humane and scientific use of laboratory animals. The mission includes education and training of scientists and technicians in the care and use of laboratory animals; reduction of pain and distress in research animals; occupational safety and health of employees; and nomenclature of inbred, transgenic, and other genetically defined animals. The program goal is to improve the humane and scientifically valid use of laboratory animals as well as the availability, quality and care of laboratory animals for research.ILAR accomplishes its goal through a core program, carried out by staff, and a special-project program, carried out by National Academies-appointed experts. Both programs are guided by a 16-member advisory council comprised of experts in laboratory animal medicine, physiology, genetics, medicine, bioethics, and related biological and biomedical sciences. Numerous sponsors fund ILAR?s operations. The funds supplied by NSF partially support maintenance of the web site, publication of ILAR Journal, exhibits at scientific meetings, work of the Council, and general office operations. The many and significant broader impacts of ILAR-sponsored activities extend beyond the U.S. scientific community via outreach to the worldwide scientific community.
