💬 Perspective: The FDA’s Roadmap to Reducing Animal Testing advances #NewApproachMethodologies as alternatives to routine animal studies, reflecting scientific, ethical, and regulatory shifts in preclinical drug safety evaluation.

ja.ma/4sKqRAy
A JAMA article published online April 20, 2026, titled "Eliminating Unnecessary Animal Testing" by Tracy Beth Høeg et al. It includes a timeline from Apr 2025 to Mar 2026 of FDA roadmap accomplishments to reduce animal testing, with milestones like "International alignment on text@1 strategy".

A major shift in #drug #evaluation & #biomedical #research: Science, ethics & policy align to move beyond #animaltesting. @fda.gov & #NIH push for #human-relevant #methods in drug #safety. NIH will stop ❌ funding animal-only models. www.youtube.com/live/vz1uF42...

💡 This week’s tips for mitigating #AnimalMethodsBias focus on how you can use #OpenScience practices to improve confidence in #NAMs and address the hesitancy of some reviewers to embrace animal-free methods. 🧪

#peerreview #peerreviewbias #nonanimalresearch #newapproachmethodologies
"Mitigating Animal Methods Bias in Grant Review. Tip #5. Engage in and promote open science practices." "Engage in and promote open science practices like systemic reviews, data sharing, preregistration, and open access publishing. Confidence in NAMs and other nonanimal methods is still being established. Open science practices foster transparency, rigor, and reproducibility. Over time, this can help boost confidence in NAMs and may address the hesitancy of some reviewers to embrace animal-free methods."

Are you a researcher using #nonanimalmethods? 🧪
Over the next two months, we will share our recommendations for researchers in greater detail to help you understand your role in addressing #animalmethodsbias in grant #peerreview.

#peerreviewbias #newapproachmethodologies #NAMs
How researchers can help mitigate animal methods bias in grant peer review Researchers can: Raise awareness of animal methods bias within your institution and scientific community; Educate and train the scientific community in nonanimal research methods and their value in translational success Researchers can: Seek funding from appropriate sources; Ensure funding opportunities have appropriate method specifications and reviewer expertise Researchers can: Provide a robust justification for the use and suitability of the chosen methods to answer your specific research question and impact human health in proposals; Volunteer for reviewer positions and make yourself available to review staff

In addition, evaluating expertise & resources as sufficient or not—as opposed to being a scored criterion—is intended to reduce reputational biases, which may intersect with methodological biases.
