<p class="heading2">Purpose</p>
<p>This Notice informs Public Health Service (PHS) awardee institutions that the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) has implemented a new Animal Welfare Assurance (Assurance) numbering system. </p>
<h4>Background</h4>
<p>OLAW oversees PHS-funded animal activities by the authority of the <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/olaw/references/hrea1985.htm">Health Research Extension Act of 1985</a> and the PHS Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (<a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/olaw/references/phspol.htm">Policy</a>). The Policy requires that &ldquo;No activity involving animals may be conducted or supported by the PHS until the institution conducting the activity has provided a written Assurance acceptable to the PHS, setting forth compliance with the Policy.&rdquo; Assurance agreements are approved by OLAW and assigned a unique identification number which is used by institutions in applications and proposals for research activities involving the use of vertebrate animals.</p>
<h4>Implementation</h4>
<p>Effective July 25, 2016, OLAW implemented a new Animal Welfare Assurance database that utilizes a new numbering format (D00-00000). However, the old numbers (A000-01) will be retained for the life of the Assurance. Institutions with an Assurance will receive a new number and may use either the new or old Assurance number in communications with NIH. For convenience, OLAW will reference both new and old Assurance numbers in Assurance-related correspondence. Institutions will be able to view the new Assurance number on the OLAW website list of Assured institutions (<a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/olaw/assurance/300index.htm">Domestic</a> | <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/olaw/assurance/500index.htm">Foreign</a>) and in any Assurance-related correspondence from OLAW. Institutions seeking a new Animal Welfare Assurance will be provided an Assurance number in the new format only.</p>
