Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee

The care and use of animals at the University are governed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), also known as the Animal Welfare Committee (AWC). Anyone using animals for teaching, research, or experimentation in affiliation with the University must submit an Animal Subject Approval Form for IACUC review. Protocol approval from the IACUC must be obtained prior to beginning any teaching, research, or experimentation involving animals.
