Question Answered step-by-step A new registry was set up in January 2019. The Registry, Animal… A new registry was set up in January 2019. The Registry, Animal Study Registry is used to register all studies that use animals in their research. It is a requirement for all grants coming from NIH. In a study regarding the new registry (ASR), it was found that “Although the primary goal of the ASR is to improve the quality of bioscience research involving animals, it also promotes animal welfare. Preregistration may increase the chance of publishing “negative” results and thereby reducing the publication bias. Nondisclosure of negative results hampers the progress of the entire biomedical research, though its consequences are particularly serious in research using animals. Here, leaving out information may lead to unnecessary duplication of experiments and to wasting animal lives” (Bert, et al, 2019). Do you think this registry will reduce the use of animals in research?Bert, B., Heinl, C., Chmielewska, J., Schwarz, F., Grune, B., Hensel, A., Greiner, M., & Schönfelder, G. (2019).
