  "text": "Multiple choices possible\nSpecies in accordance with statistical reporting categories in Annex III to this Decision, with an additional option of ‘non-specified mammal’ to safeguard anonymity in exceptional cases\nTitle (as per Non-technical Project Summary)\nReason for Retrospective Assessment\nUsing non-human primates\nContains ‘severe’procedures\nOther reason\nExplain ‘Other reason’\nAchievement of objectives\nExplain briefly whether, and to what extent, the objectives set out in the authorised project have been achieved. Provide reasons if objectives have not been attained.\nHave there been any other significant findings?\nWhat benefits have resulted from the work to date, and are further benefits expected?\nHave the results of this project been disseminated, including where hypotheses are not proven? If so, describe how. If not, indicate how and when results are expected to be publicised.\nHarms\nSpecies\nTotal numbers of animals used\nNumbers of animals per actual severity\nNon-recovery\nMild\nModerate\nSevere\nHow do numbers of animals used and actual severities compare with those estimated? Where the actual numbers are higher than the estimated numbers, please provide an explanation. Where the actual numbers are lower, please provide an explanation unless that difference is a result of Reduction or Refinement?\nHow does the fate of animals kept alive at the end of the study compare with the estimated fate? Please provide an explanation.\nAny elements that may contribute to further implementation of the Three Rs:\n1. Replacement\nWith the knowledge obtained from this project, have any new approaches that could replace some or all of the use of animals in similar projects been identified/developed (including the development/validation of new in vitro or in silico techniques)?\n2. Reduction\nWith the knowledge obtained from this project, could the experimental design be improved to enable any further reduction of the use of animals, and if so, how?\nProvide an explanation where numbers of animals used were lower than those originally estimated.\n3. Refinement\nProvide an explanation where the actual severities were lower than those originally estimated.\nWith the new knowledge obtained from this project, are the animal models used still the most appropriate? Please specify per species/model, where appropriate.\nList any novel refinements introduced during the project to reduce harm to the animals or to improve their welfare.\nWhat are the potential opportunities for further refinement in the future, for example, emerging technologies, techniques, improved welfare assessment methods, earlier endpoints, housing/husbandry measures?\n4. Other\nHow are the findings for further implementation of the Three Rs disseminated?\nAdditional comments",
