The use of vertebrate animals by an off-site collaborator or vendor (e.g., for toxicity testing, or the production of custom antibodies) is Animal Use for the purposes of this application and must be reported here.


The use of pre-existing animal-derived products (e.g., cell lines or off-the-shelf antibodies) is not covered by the Animal Welfare Act and should NOT be considered Animal Use for the purposes of this application.

  • Surveys, interviews and focus groups
  • Cognitive and perceptual studies (human-computer interaction, decision science experiments)
  • Effects of environmental alterations (lighting, temperature) on comfort, behavior, or performance
  • Analysis of data collected through interaction with humans (PET scans, video/audio recording, imaging)
  • Educational or social science research
  • Human Terrain Mapping or projects that involve data gathering or analysis conducted for the military or intelligence purposes to understand social, cultural, or economic elements of people in countries where the U.S. military is operating
