Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)

 

Stockton University's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) provides supervision, coordination, and review of projects proposing to use vertebrate animals. The Committee is responsible for ensuring the humane care and use of animals in all activities related to research and education. The Committee is made up of scientists, non-scientists, and members of the public to ensure expression of diverse perspectives. The IACUC has the responsibility to approve, require modification of proposed activity involving animals, and the authority to prohibit a project's use of vertebrate animals.

 

Animal research is conducted in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, guidelines and policies governing the use of animals in research, including the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. We strive to provide guidance to the scientific community in fulfilling the obligation to conduct animal research with the highest standards and best practices.
