Pass the Humane Research & Testing Act of 2021

I'm a constituent from (city, state). I'm calling in support of the FDA Modernization Act of 2021 and asking you to help pass this important bill.


The current FDA requirements are 80 years old. Science has advanced, as has our understanding of animals and their capacity to suffer terrible physical and mental harm in medical experiments. It's time to allow drug developers to use the most modern and ethical testing methods available to them. This bill would do that, and I hope you'll work on behalf of your constituents to support and help pass it.


Thank you for hearing my request.

  • HR 1744 would establish the National Center for Alternatives to Animals in Research. The Center would be tasked with promoting and funding non-animal research. It would also provide training and preferential funding as impetus for researchers to adopt modern, ethical testing methods.
  • The NIH Health Revitalization Act of 1993 directed the NIH to outline a plan for reducing the use of animals in research. In 2019 the Government Accountability Office report to Congress again called on federal agencies to assess and report on their efforts to reduce and replace animal-based research. Still, approximately half of the NIH budget goes to animal research.
