Take Advantage of Our Many Resources for Enhancing the Rigor of Animal Research
“Despite the numerous successes stemming from animal research, concerning reports over the past decade have described biomedical experiments that fail to replicate or to translate in ways that improve human health. All research is not expected to translate to human treatments, as there is no perfect model. Scientific process is as much about failure as it is about success. Yet part of the scientific process is also continual improvement, which includes working to understand what might contribute to unexpected outcomes within animal research.” The Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) expressed that view in their...
