Agencies: National Institutes of Health (NIH), US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

PRIM&R responded to the NIH, USDA, and FDA request for comments "seeking information to improve the coordination of regulations and policies with respect to research with laboratory animals as required by the 21st Century Cures Act, Section 2034(d)," advocating that any new regulatory policy better support the work of IACUCs and the research oversight community and reduce bureaucratically intensive regulations that do not necessarily translate to better animal welfare.
