The mission of ILAR is to evaluate and disseminate information on issues related to the scientific, technological, and ethical use of animals and related biological resources in research, testing, and education. Using the principles of refinement, reduction, and replacement (3Rs) as a foundation, ILAR promotes high-quality science through the humane care and use of animals and the implementation of alternatives. Through the reports of expert committees, the ILAR Journal, web-based resources, and other means of communication, ILAR functions as a component of the National Academies to provide independent, objective advice to the federal government, the international biomedical research community, and the public. ILAR supports the responsible use of animals in research, testing, and education as a key component to advancing the health and quality of life of humans and animals. It promotes high-quality science and humane care and use of research animals based upon the principles of refinement, replacement, and reduction (the 3Rs) and high ethical standards. It fosters best practices that enhance human and animal welfare by organizing and disseminating information and by facilitating dialogue among interested parties. It has developed a unique Search Engine to search for animal models and strains. This search engine surveys all the websites of vendors and repositories of laboratory animals and biological material on our Links page. The ILAR develops guidelines on laboratory animal care and use and conducts conferences, symposia, and workshops on important laboratory animal problems. ILAR publishes the ILAR Journal on a quarterly basis, as well as conference proceedings and special reports prepared by committees of experts. A list of ILAR publications on issues related to laboratory animal research is available on the Web site. As part of the Animal Models and Genetic Stocks Information Exchange Program, ILAR staff members answer direct telephone and mail inquiries and maintain a Web page containing a database on animal models and genetic stock. The Web site also offers a comprehensive search engine that enables users to find information on the existence and location of special animal models, correct nomenclature to identify animals, and related topics such as diseases of animals and relevant publications. Sponsors: ILAR receives funding from the following sponsors: -Abbott Laboratories -Abbott Fund -American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) -American Society of Laboratory Animal Practitioners (ASLAP) -Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) -Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. -Charles River -Charles River Laboratories Foundation -Covance -Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) -GlaxoSmithKline -Merck & Co., Inc. -National Science Foundation (NSF) -Pfizer -Scientists Center for Animal Welfare (SCAW) -U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) -U.S. Department of the Army -U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) :*National Institutes of Health (NIH) :*Office of Research Integrity (ORI) -U.S. Department of the Navy -U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs -Wellcome Trust -Wyeth Pharmaceuticals

Harvester is a Web-based tool that bulk-collects bioinformatic data on human proteins from various databases and prediction servers. It is a meta search engine for gene and protein information. It searches 16 major databases and prediction servers and combines the results on pregenerated HTML pages. In this way Harvester can provide comprehensive gene-protein information from different servers in a convenient and fast manner. As full text meta search engine, similar to Google trade mark, Harvester allows screening of the whole genome proteome for current protein functions and predictions in a few seconds. With Harvester it is now possible to compare and check the quality of different database entries and prediction algorithms on a single page. Sponsors: This work has been supported by the BMBF with grants 01GR0101 and 01KW0013.

Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD) is a collaborative effort of two agencies of the National Institutes of Health, The Office of Rare Diseases Research (ORDR) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to help people find useful information about genetic conditions and rare diseases. GARD provides timely access to experienced information specialists who can furnish current and accurate information about genetic and rare diseases. So far, GARD has responded to 27,635 inquiries on about 7,147 rare and genetic diseases. Requests come not only from patients and their families, but also from physicians, nurses and other health-care professionals. GARD also has proved useful to genetic counselors, occupational and physical therapists, social workers, and teachers who work with people with a genetic or rare disease. Even scientists who are studying a genetic or rare disease and who need information for their research have contacted GARD, as have people who are taking part in a clinical study. Community leaders looking to help people find resources for those with genetic or rare diseases and advocacy groups who want up-to-date disease information for their members have contacted GARD. And members of the media who are writing stories about genetic or rare diseases have found the information GARD has on hand useful, accurate and complete. GARD has information on: :- What is known about a genetic or rare disease. :- What research studies are being conducted. :- What genetic testing and genetic services are available. :- Which advocacy groups to contact for a specific genetic or rare disease. :- What has been written recently about a genetic or rare disease in medical journals. GARD information specialists get their information from: :- NIH resources. :- Medical textbooks. :- Journal articles. :- Web sites. :- Advocacy groups, and their literature and services. :- Medical databases.

A consortium of research projects working to optimize approaches for the isolation, expansion, and differentiation of appropriate kidney cell types and their integration into complex structures that replicate human kidney function. Their goal is to coordinate and integrate research to support the development and implementation of strategies such as de novo repair of nephrons, the re-generation of nephrons, and the in vitro engineering of a biological kidney to enhance renal repair and promote the generation of new nephrons in the postnatal organ. Investigators may apply for funding of a kidney-related project through the RBK Partnership Project. Funded projects would join the consortium.
