The biennial Comparative Medicine Resource Directors (CMRD) Meeting is intended to provide a forum for exchange of new information, advances, and ideas; facilitate the development of synergistic working groups, interactions, and collaborations among resources, as well as with National Institutes of Health (NIH) institutes, centers, and offices; and offer opportunities for sharing experiences, strategies, and best practices to optimize access, use, and administration of resources. The fourteenth CMRD Meeting was held August 6 and 7, 2024. The purpose of the 2024 meeting was to form and strengthen new and existing connections, disseminate information about new resources and opportunities to collaborate, expand networks, learn about new NIH strategic plans and policies, and reinforce the important roles the CMRD community plays in driving biomedical research.
