UC Davis IACUC Policies and Guidelines
What is an IACUC?
An IACUC is an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. IACUC's are mandated by two different federal laws, the Animal Welfare Act and the Health Research Extension Act.
UC Davis Policy and Procedure Manual 290-30 - "Use and Care of Animals in Teaching and Research"
UC Davis Policy and Procedure Manual 290-25 - "Health Services for Individuals Having Animal Contact"
Background
These statements of policy address areas in which federal laws or the guidelines of granting agencies are somewhat unclear. The IACUC has tried to create a clear statement of policy in these areas to help researchers understand what is expected of them and to make certain that all researchers are treated equitably.
