Institute for Laboratory Animal Research

The Institute for Laboratory Animal Research is a United States organization which develops and shares information and guidelines about animal testing and care of laboratory animals.[1] It is a unit in the United States National Research Council.

The organization was established in 1952 as the Institute of Animal Resources.[2] In 1956 it became the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources.[2]

In 2011 the American Psychological Association criticized ILAR's 8th edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals for seeming like a list of requirements rather than guidelines.[3]
