There is enormous complementary of models used in biomedicine because of the fundamental nature of life on earth, that is, the biochemical and genetic unity of life and the principles and mechanisms of evolution, all of which provide an irrefutable rationale for wide-ranging comparative studies to understand the human condition. There is excitement and optimism over the prospects for future biomedical research provided by advances and applications in molecular biology during the 199Os.

A survey was targeted at several segments of the scientific community involved in developing and using animal and nonanimal models for biomedical research. It was sent to all the NTH institute directors with a request that it be forwarded to relevant extramural program officers in their institutes, and that names of extramural scientists who use biologic models be provided to the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (formerly the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources)

These discussants were coming from pharmaceutical and toxicology testing companies, from government, and from academe. The workshop approached the issues of models for biomedical research by emerging research, by overriding issues that affect all research, and by species (in the breakout sessions)

The committee's recommendations are grouped into the following categories: animal health and welfare, national centers of expertise, animal facilities, training, interdisciplinary research, and scientific advice to NCRR. The committee believes that these categories are the ones most suited to NCRR and are critical to the success of biomedical research.
