Comment 1: No- NIH should not adopt the eighth edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Guide) as a basis for evaluation of institutional programs receiving or proposing to receive Public Health Service support for activities involving animals. There is a lack of empirical data to indicate that these new regulations will enhance animal welfare.
