and advising on the process for closing 

studies if any do not comply with the 

IOM recommendations. For example: 

Criteria to assess ‘‘minimally invasive’’ 

procedures for comparative genomics 

and behavioral research and 

‘‘ethologically appropriate’’ physical 

and social environments; Criteria to 

balance phasing out of the existing 

research without causing ‘‘unacceptable 

losses to research programs’’ or an 

unacceptable ‘‘impact on the animals’’. 

• Factors to consider when advising 

on the size and placement of active and 

inactive populations of NIH-owned orsupported chimpanzees as a result of 

implementing the IOM 

recommendations. For example: Ways 

to address capacity issues that would 

accompany an increase in ‘inactive’ 

animals; Factors to consider in 

transitioning the animals that are newly 

inactive; How many and what would be 

the characteristics of animals held in 

reserve for future research, if any; The 

number of animals needed to maintain 

a viable number of research naı ̈ve 

animals but also genetic and social 

stability and sufficient diversity for 

unanticipated research needs. 

• A review process for considering 

whether potential future use of the 

chimpanzee in NIH-supported research 

is scientifically necessary and consistent 

with the IOM principles. For example: 

Factors to consider in determining 

whether other models (e.g., in vitro, 

other in vivo) would be a ‘‘suitable 

model’’ for answering the research 

question; Research areas where 

alternative model development is 

recommended; Whether NIH should 

have a plan to maintain a minimal 

population of federally-owned 

chimpanzees and input on the design of 

the plan; Circumstances under which 

chimpanzees should be considered as a 

model for ‘‘a new, emerging, or 

reemerging disease or disorder that may 

present challenges to treatment, 

prevention, and/or control that defy 

non-chimpanzee models and available 

technologies’’; Characteristics of the 

oversight committee responsible for 

reviewing future research proposals and 

determining whether they are consistent 

with the IOM criteria and whether they 

can be conducted. 

Information Requested: To ensure a 

thorough and comprehensive evaluation 

of the issues underlying the 

implementation of the IOM Report’s 

guiding principles and criteria and the 

size and placement of NIH-owned or 

-supported animals, input is being 

sought from the biomedical research 

community, including:
