... A 2-day workshop in August 2022 included sessions with federal funders of NHP research, representatives from domestic NHP breeding resources, investigators using NHP models, and stakeholders involved with the development and application of new approach methodologies. A third public meeting was held in November 2022 and included representatives from the NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP)

... Information Requests The committee sent formal information requests to several federal agencies and other stakeholder organizations to collect information that was not publicly available (see Table A-1)

... NIH In addition to the participation of NIH ICOs in the committee's public informationgathering sessions, the committee sent several information requests to NIH in efforts to gather quantitative and qualitative data on NHP use in extramural and intramural research projects, challenges related to supply and demand, and NIH-supported and -owned breeding colonies. Quantitative data from internal NIH data systems were not available to the committee because of privacy concerns by NIH about accessing internal records, and because no automated methods are in place for collecting the requested data.

... Keyword searches using NHP terminology did not provide a complete listing of active awards using NHPs. Unlike the prior review of NHP supply and use published by ORIP in 2018, the committee did not have access to internal NIH data systems to provide detailed information on current NHP use (e.g., information on research domain, species, quantity of NHPs planned for use, justification for the choice of model)
From page 191...
... . The search was restricted to active project-driven research grants as categorized on NIH RePORTER as funding mechanisms for "Research Projects." It should be noted that this search of NIH RePORTER captured projects that did not use NHP models, such as those projects that used a search term in the abstract in reference to prior research using NHPs, and likely missed some projects that did use NHPs, such as those that did not include a keyword in 4 APHIS annual reports from research facilities provide information on the number of animals held, bred, or conditioned for research use and the number used for research purposes.
From page 192...
... Because of the lack of information available about those respondents who did not choose to respond to the survey, no analysis of the representativeness of the respondents or the awards for which they reported information could be performed. Therefore, it is not known whether a higher or lower portion of researchers from a specific research domain, for example, responded to the survey as compared with the entire population of NIH-supported investigators using NHPs.
From page 193...
... Any identifying information, including NIH grant numbers, was anonymized and the code key deleted. No identifiable survey data were shared with any committee members and only aggregate data were made available to the full committee.
