Comment 1: No, the NIH should not adopt the new guidelines. Comment 2: No, the evaluation program is redundant, expensive and will impede research. The administrative load the the NIH is proposing to impose will utilize precious resources that would be directed to paper work and not to improvement of care of animals used in scientific research. It would do exactly the opposite of what the NIH wishes to accomplish. An annual evaluation schedule would provide outstanding monitoring.
