It will be held on October 26, 2002, immediately preceding the annual meeting of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science in San Antonio, Texas. It will bring together top researchers from a variety of specialties using nonhuman primates in cutting-edge science. Innovative uses of these animals can pose challenges for Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs) reviewing animal study proposals and for veterinarians providing clinical care. Emerging scientific uses of primates will be described as well as strategies for IACUCs and veterinarians to ensure appropriate oversight and animal well-being. The program and registration information will be posted at www.aslap.org. INQUIRIES For questions or further information, contact: Margaret C.
