Report of the NIH Rat Model Repository Workshop
On behalf of the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) convened this workshop to
develop a plan for a Rat Model Repository. The workshop was designed to plan
what is needed by the research community, to recommend how to set up such a
repository, to identify the most able group to establish this resource, and to
decide how to assess and solve the problem of genetic heterogeneity among
members of rat strains.
This workshop was structured to enable as much work
as possible to be done in advance of the meeting (including the use of a Web
site that provided a forum for posting predefined questions and the answers
developed by participants) and was designed to promote maximal interaction for
the development of implementable recommendations through the Breakout Groups
and Plenary Sessions. The report developed by this workshop will be used to
guide the NIH in this most important endeavor.
