Workshop/Videocast of Lessons Learned from NHP Models and Charting the Path Forward
From the NIH Office of Science Policy:
“Rigorous and reproducible research is the cornerstone of the biomedical research enterprise and a necessity for improving the health of the Nation. NIH is committed to ensuring its research investment supports the most rigorous science – regardless of species – and has a suite of initiatives underway to foster a productive dialogue on this topic. Recognizing that research with NHP models may have some unique challenges and important generalizable lessons in terms of science, welfare, and ethics, NIH is working with the research community to convene a workshop on February 18-19, 2020 to:
- Identify emergent challenges facing the conduct, reproducibility, and translation of rigorous research when working with NHP models; and
- Discuss strategies for addressing these challenges, including building on or augmenting current best practices.
By convening experts in the field, alongside experts in a diverse array of other disciplines, we aim to share strategies for ensuring the continued responsible conduct of research using NHP models moving forward. More information, including a draft agenda and information on how to register to attend the workshop, will be forthcoming. The workshop will also be videocast.
