Comment 1: I am AGAINST adoption of the new edition of the Guide. Guide introduces new policies that constrain the exercise of scientific and professional judgment for both investigators and laboratory animal veterinarians. Mandatory requirements relating to housing requirements and drug sourcing would result in significant increases in costs to NIH, at a time when NIH funding is shrinking.
