Advocacy

Informed Advocacy for Responsible Science

Public policy decisions can shape whether researchers have the tools, funding, and regulatory clarity needed to advance human and animal health. NJABR helps members understand those developments and brings a credible, science-based perspective to policymakers, partner organizations, and the public.

Our Purpose: To advocate for the people and programs dedicated to laboratory animals used in biomedical research.

What NJABR Provides:

Legislative Monitoring and Analysis

We monitor animal-related legislation in New Jersey, assess potential effects on research and animal care, and communicate with members when proposals require attention or input.

Regulatory and Legal Insight

We follow state and federal regulatory developments, litigation, and agency activity that may affect research institutions, professional practice, public-health safeguards, or the responsible use of research models.

Member Briefings and Coordinated Engagement

NJABR provides timely updates, policy briefings and opportunities for members to share operational expertise. When needed, we translate complex scientific and institutional issues into clear, useful information for decision-makers.

Public Information

We support accurate public understanding of biomedical research, the 3Rs, animal welfare safeguards, and the role of emerging research methods.
