Working Safely with Nonhuman Primates
"Working Safely with Nonhuman Primates" was produced by the NIH Office of
Animal Care and Use in 1999 for training staff in the NIH intramural research
program. This video has a strong emphasis on proper use of personal protective
equipment combined with understanding nonhuman primate behavior, and the general
principals are applicable to any program that houses nonhuman primates. It
is provided here as a resource to extramural animal care and use programs.

Training in Survival Rodent Surgery
This CD was developed by a subcommittee of the NIH Animal Research Advisory Committee to assist in the development of proper surgical skills when performing survival surgery on rodents. It illustrates the most common practices used in the NIH intramural research program and survival rodent surgery standards established by the NIH "Guidelines for Survival Rodent Surgery." Extramural investigators should consult with their institutional veterinarian to be sure that they are following any specific requirements of their IACUC.
