In this brief perspective piece, a rural sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) program is described in the hopes that dissemination will lead to increased numbers of rural SANEs, increased reporting of sexual assaults in rural and underserved communities, increased prosecution rates of sexual assault perpetrators, and program sustainability through the provision of a nurse-centered approach to training and support. This article contributes SDGs 3, 5, 9, and 16.
Contributing to SDGs 3, 5 and 16, this paper examines the demographic profile of female victims with intellectual disablities who were sexually assaulted and the characteristics of sexual assault.
Advancing SDGs 3, 5 and 16, this article discusses increased risk of family violence during COVID-19 pandemic and suggests that collaborations between human welfare and animal welfare agencies, expanding community partnerships, and informing the public of the great importance of reporting any concerns of abuse are all critical at this time.

Animal models are used with increasing numbers in the late LO phase and particularly in the candidate selection phase for pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) and efficacy, and then also used in regulatory required safety studies. Therefore, there are opportunities throughout the drug discovery process to incorporate more translationally predictive cellular models, or CIVMs, to both reduce animal use aligned to our 3Rs commitment (replacement, reduction, and refinement) and provide data that better translate to the clinic, which ultimately results in better medicines for patients.
