IACUC Training

Investigators are ultimately responsible for compliance with all applicable regulations. However, it is the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and the institutional veterinary or animal care staff tha normally interprets the animal welfare regulations and establishes guidelines for investigators to follow that will satisfy these principles. Faculty must complete the online training prior to IACUC approval.

Please direct all students and co-PI's (who have not previously completed online testing) to complete the online training. Please use the Student Approval Form (Student Responsible Conduct form) and the Student Certification form for any students that will be directly involved iin your research.
