IACUC
Institutional Animal Care + Use Committee (IACUC)
The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee oversees and reviews the care and treatment of animals in all animal study areas and facilities of the university at least semiannually to evaluate compliance with Public Health Services Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.
Federal regulations require investigators to obtain approval of an animal use protocol by IACUC before commencing research using vertebrate animals.
If you intend to use vertebrate animals in research or teaching, contact the IACUC chair for information and instructions for how to proceed.
