NIH Meeting on Rat Model Priorities
The purpose of the NIH Rat Model Priority Meeting,
held May 3, 1999, on the campus of NIH, was to discuss, the opportunities that
rat models offer and the investments that are needed to capitalize on these
opportunities. The major issues addressed at the meeting were: where does rat
model fit in the broader scientific picture, what unique value does the rat
model provide, what are the key areas of opportunity for investment, and what
will be the impact of these proposed investments. Participants were charged by
Dr. Harold Varmus, Director of NIH, to prepare a report that contains a summary
of the major themes and recommendations, a sense of priorities, and a practical
look at costs. The report from this meeting is presented here.
