SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The National Institutes of Health has sup-
ported life-saving research that has greatly improved 
the health and well-being not only of Americans but 
also of people around the world. 
(2) Much of this research has relied on animals. 
It is estimated that between 17 million and 22 mil-
lion animals are used annually in the United States 
in research, education, and testing. 
(3) At the same time, however, a great deal of 
research that utilized animal studies yielded no ben-
efits for humans. For example, according to NIH 
itself, ‘‘approximately 30 percent of promising medi-
cations have failed in human clinical trials because 
they are found to be toxic despite promising pre-clin-
ical studies in animal models. About 60 percent of 
candidate drugs fail due to lack of efficacy’’. 
(4) The laboratory use of animals has also long 
been an issue of public concern because animals will, 
in most cases, experience fear, pain, disease or sur-
gery, and early death. 
(5) Much more has become known about the 
unsuitability of animal models for studying human 
disease and many more humane, cost-effective, and
