Abstract
A s a preface to my presentation, I want to express how much I am indebted to NIH for the beginning of my career after graduation from veterinary school. I feel like being on the campus here really imprinted on my DNA an appreciation for research and the use of animals in re search for a very worthy purpose—the evaluation of polio myelitis vaccine, and my fi rst scientific publication (van Hoosier et al. 1961). I also want to express appreciation for the support that NIH has given over the years to various ani mal resource programs, various comparative medicine train ing programs, the primate centers, and various grants for research in the laboratory animal field that helped us to un derstand more about the diseases of laboratory animals that complicated their use in biomedical research. An alternative title for my presentation could be “Flash back.” My assignment is to go back in time approximately 25 or 30 years. There have been a lot of changes since 1985, so one should not assume that the way it was done back then is the way it’s being done today.
