The Responsible Use of Animals in
Research
An important part of NWABR's mission is to educate the public about
biomedical research, and especially the need for the humane use
of animals in research. Although great strides have been made in
developing supplemental methods of research, animals continue to
provide the only avenue towards understanding how processes occur
in a complex, living organism. We provide resources to those wanting
to learn more about the use of animals as an integral part of the
research process.

Good: A five-part series featured
in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer highlighting the work of
professionals who are involved with animals and research. Download

Starting Points for Learning about Animals and Research
Resources for those preparing for debates, writing reports, or who
are simply interested in learning more about the need for animals
in research.
Rules and Regulations
Research with animals is one of the most regulated aspects of medical
research. Federal and state agencies stringently regulate medical
research with animals to ensure humane and responsible care. The
scientific community supports the highest quality of care and treatment
of research animals, not only out of respect for the animals, but
also to obtain accurate results.
