Ap- proximately 160 individuals partici- pated in the workshop which was held in Bethesda, Maryland. The purpose of the workshop was to inform participants of the latest de- velopments in regulations governing drug use in aquaculture, to evaluate the current status of registration of drugs used in the aquaculture industry, and to provide an opportunity for the par- ticipants to exchange ideas related to this rapidly growing industry. Dr. Larry R. Miller of USDA's Coop- __o erative State Research Service pro- vided information on the National Re- search Support Project (NRSP) #7 (formerly the IR-4 Program.) This pro- gram is dedicated to developing new drugs for use in minor animal species or in any animal species for the control of a disease that occurs infrequently or in limited geographical areas. Since 1983, approximately 250 drug re- quests have been submitted to the NRSP #7 program. Twenty Public Mas- UNIVERSITY ATA ter Files have been published as a re- sult of the program, and there are thirty-one ongoing projects in the mi- nor use program. The NRSP #7 is funded by Congress as a Special Re- search Grants Program. The funding for FY 94 was $650,000, and funding levels are expected to decrease slightly for FY 95. The national coordinator for the NRSP #7 program, Dr. Robert K. Ringer, explained that the program goals are to have approved New Ani- mal Drug Applications (NADAs) for mi- nor species/minor use drugs. He NRS reviewed the steps involved in submit- ting a drug to t RSP #7 program.
