AI Contract Overview

The Food and Drug Administration is proposing the retirement of three female baboons from its White Oak Animal Program after they completed multiple biomedical studies, including research on B. pertussis and N. gonorrhea between 2020 and 2023. These animals, originally transferred from the Southwest Primate Center and now six years old, have been socially housed together in a stable group with excellent health and behavior. Despite efforts to place them in other research facilities via the NIH NHP Locator, no takers have emerged, and they are no longer suitable for ongoing studies due to their age and prior use in research requiring sexual maturity. As the majority of nonhuman primates from this program are typically reassigned for continued research, this proposal represents a rare shift toward retirement, reflecting the animals’ history of participation in multiple demanding protocols and their current condition. The FDA intends to provide a humane and appropriate end-of-life environment for these animals following their years of service to scientific research.

Full Description

This is a proposal for the retirement of three female baboons from the White Oak Animal Program (WOAP). These animals arrived at FDA from Southwest Primate Center. Two arrived on 7/25/2019. One arrived on 2/13/2020. Multiple FDA studies were completed (2020 B. pertussis, 2021 Data Logger Surgery, 2022 B. pertussis, 2023 N. gonorrhea) with these animals. The animals are 6 years old and currently healthy. Initial attempts to transfer them to other facilities were unsuccessful. The animals were listed as available for biomedical research transfer on the NIH NHP Locator application without inquiry. The animals are socially housed in a trio together in the same enclosure. They are excellent behavioral disposition and general health. Note: The vast majority of NHPs from the WOAP are transferred for on-going use in biomedical research. Approximately 60 NHPs were transferred for biomedical research per the FDA Placement Guidelines from WOAP in 2023. The three animals in this proposal are older and larger in part because of their use on multiple studies and for study requiring sexual maturity.
