Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee

The federal government and University policy require that the care and use of all vertebrate laboratory animals be monitored by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). IACUC review and approval is required when animals are used in any research studies and instructional programs. Copies of guidelines and forms may be obtained from the IACUC Chair or from the Office of Research Compliance.
