Summary of the 2009 National Veterinary Scholars Symposium
More than 450 people gathered on the North Carolina State University campus August 6 – August 8 for the 2009 National Veterinary Scholars Symposium. This public-private-partnership — sponsored in part by NIH, Merck & Co., Inc. and the animal health company Merial, Ltd. — convened veterinary students from schools around the United States and Canada who are engaged in formal research training programs. The focus this year was "Translational Research: Putting Discoveries to Work in Practice."
2008
Report of the Chimpanzee Sanctuary Working Group
This final report summarizes a meeting of the Chimpanzee Sanctuary Working Group held in Bethesda, Maryland on Monday, May 5, 2008. The purpose of the meeting was to provide expert input to the National Advisory Research Resources Council on specific issues related to the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR)/National Institutes of Health (NIH) oversight of the federally supported National Chimpanzee Sanctuary.
Summary of Chimp Haven Visit and Meeting with the Chimpanzee Sanctuary Working Group and the Chimp Haven Board of Directors
On July 8, 2008, the Chimpanzee Sanctuary Working Group toured the Chimp Haven facility with the Chimp Haven staff and Board of Directors. The tour was comprehensive, and all of the facilities were visited — though it did not include entering the interior housing areas.
Summary of the 2008 National Veterinary Scholars Symposium
Over 450 people gathered on the Michigan State University campus July 31 – August 3 for the 2008 National Veterinary Scholars Symposium. This symposium — sponsored in part by NIH, Merck & Co., Inc. (a pharmaceutical company), and Merial (an animal health company) — brought together veterinary students from schools around the United States and Canada who are engaged in formal research programs.
Animal Models: Informatics and Access Meeting

Agenda47.98 KB
Biomedical research is critical for effective resolution of the health issues which negatively impact our world. From both individual and societal perspectives, serious health issues are a profound detrimental influence on quality of life. In addition, treatment of health issues consumes a significant and increasing share of individual and national resources, thereby limiting options to address other issues of societal concern. Taken together, these factors form a substantial motivation to maximize productivity in biomedical research.
Summary of the Seventh Comparative Medicine Resource Directors Meeting
Dr. Stephen Barthold of the University of California at Davis was awarded a conference grant that supported the Seventh Comparative Medicine (CM) Resource Directors Meeting held on October 7 – 8, 2008, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. Principal Investigators were invited to attend if they held resource-related grants or contracts from NCRR's (now ORIP's) Division of Comparative Medicine. The meeting provided a forum to highlight activities of the DCM-supported resource centers and to exchange additional information. The attendees included the Principal Investigators of NCRR-supported centers funded by contracts, P40, U24, and U42 grant mechanisms, as well as grantees that have resource-related projects funded via the R24 mechanism. During the Seventh CM Resource Directors' Meeting, extensive material was provided on a compact disc prepared by NCRR staff and distributed to the attendees.

Report of the Chimpanzee Management Plan Working Group
The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), one of the 27 Institutes/Centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), supports research to create and develop critical resources, models, and technologies. Within NCRR, the Division of Comparative Medicine (DCM) helps to meet the needs of biomedical researchers for high-quality, disease-free animals and specialized animal research facilities. Through grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts, the DCM supports national primate research centers and their field stations, resource-related projects, development of mammalian and nonmammalian animal model resources, postdoctoral training, and a variety of research projects. Within DCM, the Chimpanzee Management Program (ChiMP) supports long-term, cost-effective care and housing for chimpanzees.
