Information ResourcesON THIS PAGE: Institute for Laboratory Animal ResearchResearch Emphasis/ObjectivesObjectives of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) are to develop guidelines and disseminate information on the scientific, technological, and ethical use of animals and related biological resources in research, testing, and education; and to promote high-quality, humane care of animals and the appropriate use of animals and alternatives. ILAR functions within the mission of the National Academy of Sciences as an adviser to the federal government, the biomedical research community, and the public. Services ProvidedThe ILAR develops guidelines on laboratory animal care and use and conducts conferences, symposia, and workshops on important laboratory animal problems. ILAR publishes the ILAR Journal on a quarterly basis, as well as conference proceedings and special reports prepared by committees of experts. A list of ILAR publications on issues related to laboratory animal research is available on the Web site. As part of the Animal Models and Genetic Stocks Information Exchange Program, ILAR staff members answer direct telephone and mail inquiries and maintain a Web page containing a database on animal models and genetic stock. The Web site also offers a comprehensive search engine that enables users to find information on the existence and location of special animal models, correct nomenclature to identify animals, and related topics such as diseases of animals and relevant publications.

The overall goal of this service is to maximize the use of existing captive primates, thereby reducing the total number of primates needed for research, and in turn, helping to promote the conservation of primate populations in the wild. Services ProvidedPRRS services include 1) Referral Service, an immediate, staff-operated service designed to match investigator inquiries/requests to the available resource listings maintained in the PRRS master database; 2) CURRENT LISTINGS, a twice-monthly newsletter listing current availability of, as well as needs for, primates, tissues, equipment, and services; 3) ANNUAL RESOURCE GUIDE (ARG), an annual publication that lists subscribing suppliers of primates, laboratories, equipment, and commercial services such as transportation and quarantine facilities; and 4) Web site, an interactive site that includes the full text of CURRENT LISTINGS as well as online forms for posting resource availabilities/needs and listing updates, the current ARG, a diagram of primate taxonomy with illustrative photographs, online renewal and feedback forms, general service information, and links to other sites of interest to the primate research community. The PRRS also maintains a database of colonies, primates, and primate materials to which notices of availability and need can be referred. Services are available without charge to government-supported researchers and other scientists in the United States and abroad using primates in their work.
