Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee

Each school has an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) whose members are appointed by the Dean. The committees review all proposed animal research, care and use to ensure compliance with the Animal Welfare Act and PHS Guidelines.

Submission Protocol
Research activities which use vertebrate animals require review and approval by the appropriate Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). To accomplish this, all investigators must submit experimental protocols on the Animal Research Form. Completed forms should be submitted to the appropriate IACUC as indicated below:

School of Medicine
ACUO Manager
6-4365

Dental School
IACUC Chair
6-7936

School of Pharmacy
IACUC Chair
6-8295

Animal care committee approval is necessary for all purchases and use of vertebrate animals used in research at the university, and all investigators will be required to provide protocol approval numbers at the time of ordering animals and arranging for billing.

For more information, see the Animal Care and Use Office website.
