NIH Handbook on Behavioral
Research with Animals Released
April 12, 2002 - The National Institutes of Health
(NIH) has issued a handbook,
Methods and Welfare Considerations in Behavioral Research
with Animals, to assist Institutional Animal Care and
Use Committees (IACUCs) in the evaluation of protocols that
employ various means to manipulate the behavior and health
of laboratory animals. The handbook may also be useful to
researchers considering different methodologies for behavioral
experiments. NIH convened a group of leading behavioral scientists
and laboratory animal veterinarians to help draft the report,
which was subsequently reviewed by a wide variety of other
scientists and veterinarians. Limited numbers of printed copies
are available by email (nimhinfo@nih.gov)
or by calling (301) 443-4513.
