The central mission of the Department of University Animal Care (UAC) is to support research projects using animals; however this support must be accomplished while maintaining full compliance with legal and ethical guidelines. Much of this packet may seem unduly restrictive, please understand that Federal law now defines and determines virtually each step of a research project using animals. The specific "shall's" and "shall not's" contained in these pages are compiled from these various laws and regulations. If you need additional information about training issues, please call the IACUC Certification Coordinator at 621-3931.
Surgical support personnel from UAC are available to assist research staff. The charge for this service is nominal when compared to the cost of hiring research support staff. Current fees may be obtained from the Biotechnology Support Staff. The exact makeup of a particular surgical team is a decision made by the principal investigator in consultation with the attending veterinarian. The IACUC must approve the list of personnel before the research project may begin and investigators must notify the IACUC as new personnel are added to the project.
