It is the position of die National Institutes of Health (NIH) that investigators and institutions who use animals have the responsibility to provide for the animals' humane care and use. NIH policy requires that recipients of its awards assure NIH that they are carrying out this responsibility. NIH uses the National Academy of Sciences—National Research Council “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” to define acceptable animal care standards and a set of 12 “Principles for the Use of Animals” to define humane animal use.
