2016年5月26日 · The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is informing the research community about permissible types of agency-supported research involving chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and changes to agency processes for projects that propose to use chimpanzees in …

2024年11月8日 · The Panel uses a defined protocol to evaluate the chimpanzees and provides their assessment to the NIH Deputy Director for Program, Coordination, Planning and Strategic Coordination, who oversees the Chimpanzee Management Program, on whether the chimpanzee(s) should remain in place or relocate to Chimp Haven.

2015年5月12日 · In April, NIH launched a new reporting system for requests to use chimpanzees in research, which must be reviewed by the NIH Chimpanzee Research Use Panel (CRUP). The CRUP review process was developed following an NIH-commissioned Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on chimpanzee use in research,

Chimpanzee test. This is a test of working memory, made famous by a study that found that chimpanzees consistently outperform humans on this task. In the study, the chimps consistently outperformed humans, and some chimps were able to remember 9 digits over 90% of the time.

2015年12月13日 · The National Institutes of Health decided last month to end its support for biomedical experiments on chimpanzees, and it will send them here to live out their days.

2012年10月23日 · The NIH Chimpanzee Management Program (ChiMP) supports long-term, cost-effective housing and maintenance at NIH-supported facilities for chimpanzees. ORIP provides programmatic oversight of the facilities and ensures they comply with the Animal Welfare Act, and policies concerning laboratory animal care and use.

Chimpanzees have been used in biomedical research to gain an understanding of various diseases that result in substantial morbidity and mortality. The value of chimpanzees in studies designed to make it possible to prevent or treat diseases is due in large part to their genetic similarity to humans.

Experiments involving non-human primates (NHPs) include toxicity testing for medical and non-medical substances; studies of infectious disease, such as HIV and hepatitis; neurological studies; behavior and cognition; reproduction; genetics; and xenotransplantation.

1978年11月3日 · This test problem-solving comprehension permits the animal's knowledge about problem-solving--its ability to infer the nature of problems and to recognize potential solutions to them--to be examined.
