Institutional Animal Care and Use

colonnade

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is composed of seven members, appointed by the President, including four members of the University faculty; one non-faculty member of the University community; one veterinarian; and one person who is not affiliated with the University in any other way. The IACUC is charged to review, approve, revise, and monitor protocols for all research and instructional use of vertebrate animal species. These protocols must comply with relevant federal and state laws and regulations and should also reflect public concerns about the humane treatment of animals, veterinary expertise in laboratory animal care, accepted standards of appropriate facilities, and protection against unsubstantiated allegations against investigators.
