NATIONAL SURVEY OF LABORATORY ANIMAL USE, FACILITIES, AND RESOURCESCONDUCTED BY THE NCRR IN 1995 NIH GUIDE, Volume 24, Number 8, March 3, 1995 P.T. 34 Keywords: Surveys & Survey Research RESEARCH RESOURCES National Center for Research Resources The National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health is conducting the "National Survey of Laboratory Animal Use, Facilities, and Resources" of all Public Health Service (PHS) awardee institutions. This survey was mailed to the Institutional Officials of all OPRR-assured institutions, at the address indicated on the assurance, in January 1995. Data requested includes information on the characteristics of the organization, the species and numbers of animals in the program, the facilities and personnel supporting the laboratories, and the costs of animal care. In order to maintain the confidentiality of the responses, the survey will be anonymous. The final report, which will be sent to each institution in late 1996, will contain aggregated data gathered from the responding institutions. The survey is being performed by Advanced Resource Technologies, Inc. During the survey response period, February 1 to March 17, staff of Advanced Resource Technologies, Inc. will maintain a toll free number -- 1-800-NIH-2494 -- to offer assistance to respondents with any questions about the survey. The survey information will be of great importance to the NIH in determining the impact of animal resource needs on biomedical research and the future funding of laboratory animal research, facility construction, and renovation programs. Each institution is strongly urged to participate in the survey process, since the value of aggregated information rests on a significant response from the PHS awardee institutions.
