THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES

National Academy of Sciences

National Academy of Engineering

Institute of Medicine

National Research Council

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences.

The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. William A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine.

The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. William A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.

Preface

Care and use of animals in research are expensive, prompting efforts to contain or reduce costs. Components of those costs are personnel, regulatory compliance, veterinary medical care, and laboratory animal management, equipment, and procedures. Many efforts have been made to control and reduce personnel costs, the largest contributing factor to cost, through better facility and equipment design, more efficient use of personnel, and automation of many routine operations. However, there has been no comprehensive, recent analysis of the various cost components or examination of the strategies that have been proven or are purported to decrease the cost of animal facility operation.

The National Research Council appointed the Committee on Cost of and Payment for Animal Research (Cost Committee) in January 1998 to examine the current interpretation of governmental policy (Office of Management and Budget Circular A–21) concerning institutional reimbursement for overhead costs of an animal research facility and to describe methods for economically operating an animal research facility. The study was conducted under the auspices of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) of the Commission on Life Sciences. The committee produced its first report titled Approaches to Cost Recovery for Animal Research: Implications for Science, Animals, Research Competitiveness, and Regulatory Compliance in May 1998. The principal conclusion of that report was that animal research facilities are used extensively for the conduct of research and support an environment and animal health profile that are integral to the validity of the experimental animal model. Hence, the facilities and

administrative (F&A) costs should be eligible for inclusion in an institution's indirect cost category. The Office of Grants and Acquisition Management of the Department of Health and Human Services ultimately accepted most of this recommendation and extended its applicability to institutions governed by Circulars A–21 and A–122 (see Appendix A). This action also catalyzed an NIH committee's final revisions of the NIH Cost Accounting and Rate Setting Manual for Laboratory Animal Facilities. The Cost Committee then considered cost containment methods for animal research facilities and wrote the present report. This report is intended primarily for directors and managers of animal research facilities.

The literature available to the Cost Committee that specifically addresses cost containment methods was relatively sparse. However, two other sources of information were available: The Ohio State University Committee on Institutional Cooperation Study (CIC) of 12 institutions (see Appendix B) and the Yale University 1999 Animal Resources Survey (1999 ARS) of 63 institutions (see Appendix C). The present report is based upon the experience of the committee members, most of whom have been directors of laboratory animal facilities, researchers relying on animal models or professionals overseeing research resources for many years (see biographical sketches, Appendix D), information in the literature, and the two surveys.

This report has been reviewed by persons chosen for their diverse perspectives and technical expertise in accordance with procedures approved by the National Research Council's Report Review Committee. The purposes of the independent review are to provide candid and critical comments that will assist the authors and the National Research Council in making the published report as sound as possible and to ensure that the report meets institutional standards of objectivity, evidence, and responsiveness to the study charge. The contents of the review comments and the manuscript draft remain confidential to protect the integrity of the deliberative process. We thank the following persons for their participation in the review of this report:

The list shows the diversity and background of the reviewers, again attesting to the rigor of the process of producing this report. Although the persons listed have provided many constructive comments and suggestions, responsibility for the final content of this report rests solely with the authoring committee and the National Research Council.

I am very thankful to the committee members, reviewers, and ILAR staff. Members of the committee demonstrated their expertise, dedication, and perseverance and donated their precious time and energy to focus on this project throughout their tenure on the committee. The

reviewers provided invaluable insights that helped to make the final report more relevant, informative, and robust.

The committee wishes to thank Robert Jacoby of the Section of Comparative Medicine of Yale University School of Medicine, for making available the data from the 1999 ARS, and Rajasekhar Ramakrishnan and Steven Holleran of the Division of Biomathematics and Biostatistics, Department of Pediatrics, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, for summarizing and analyzing the data. Ralph Dell was an extraordinary liaison with the groups on the Cost Committee's behalf, playing a pivotal role during our critique and refinement of the survey instrument and the analysis of survey data. The committee deeply appreciated his deft management of the review process and concluding efforts toward publication of the final report. The committee is further indebted to Kathleen Beil and Marsha Williams, of ILAR staff, for their cheerful support of committee functions, manuscript preparation, and producing all the tables (Appendix C) summarizing the 1999 ARS.

Care and use of animals in research are expensive, prompting efforts to contain or reduce costs. Components of those costs are personnel, regulatory compliance, veterinary medical care, and laboratory animal management, equipment, and procedures. Many efforts have been made to control and reduce personnel costs, the largest contributing factor to cost, through better facility and equipment design, more efficient use of personnel, and automation of many routine operations. However, there has been no comprehensive, recent analysis of the various cost components or examination of the strategies that have been proven or are purported to decrease the cost of animal facility operation.

Strategies that Influence Cost Containment in Animal Research Facilities examines the current interpretation of governmental policy (Office of Management and Budget Circular A-21) concerning institutional reimbursement for overhead costs of an animal research facility and describes methods for economically operating an animal research facility. This report develops recommendations by which federal auditors and research institutions can establish what cost components of research animal facilities should be charged to institutions' indirect cost pool and what animal research facility cost components should be included in the per diem charges to investigators, and assesses the financial and scientific ramifications that these criteria would have among federally funded institutions. Further, the report determines the cost components of laboratory animal care and use in biomedical research and assesses and recommends methods of cost containment for institutions maintaining animals for biomedical research.
