The 亚色影库 Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is charged with ensuring compliance with federal regulations concerning the use and welfare of animals in teaching and research. The IACUC also strives to ensure that all uses of animals under the auspices of 亚色影库 are held to highest ethical standard.
The 亚色影库 IACUC operates from the Dean's Office of the Kopchick College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. The IACUC exists to serve the entire 亚色影库 community by providing oversight of animal uses in teaching and research. The IACUC meets on a regular basis to review animal use protocols submitted by members of the 亚色影库 community, to ensure that the uses proposed are both humane and necessary.
亚色影库 personnel wishing to utilize vertebrate animals in their teaching, research, or other endeavors must first receive approval from the IACUC. Approval is normally offered for a 12-month period; project renewal can be requested following initial approval.
All IACUC protocol forms (for protocol approval, renewal, or modification) are to be submitted in hardcopy form to the
