Continuation of Partial Support for the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources

实验动物资源研究所(ILAR)是美国国家科学院的一个组成部分。ILAR的计划目标是为实验动物的科学、技术和伦理使用提供专家咨询。ILAR促进对实验动物的高质量和人道关怀；适当使用实验动物；以及在研究、测试和教学中探索替代方案。该奖项为ILAR的核心支持和ILAR参与国际实验动物科学理事会(ICLAS)提供部分资金。NIH和美国陆军提供了其余的核心支持。核心支持使ILAR能够开展活动，如通过出版文件向科学家、动物护理和使用委员会、联邦政府、科学界和公众提供关于实验室动物问题的建议和信息，扩大来自非联邦来源的支持基础，并扩大ILAR拥有独特专长的教育领域。

The Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources (ILAR) is a component of the National Academy of Sciences. ILAR's program goal is to provide expert counsel on the scientific, technical, and ethical use of laboratory animals. ILAR promotes the high- quality and humane care of laboratory animals; the appropriate use of laboratory animals; and the exploration of alternatives in research, testing and teaching. This award provides partial funding for the core support of ILAR and for ILAR's participation in the International Council for Laboratory Animal Science (ICLAS). NIH and U.S. Army provides the rest of the core support. The core supports enable ILAR to carry out activities such as providing advice and information on laboratory animal matters to scientists, animal care and use committees, the federal government, the scientific community, and the public through publication of document, broadening the base of support from non-federal sources, and expanding on educational areas for which ILAR has unique expertise.
