涩里番下载

In the pursuit of valid research and in compliance with federal law, 涩里番下载 has an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). As stated in 9 CFR 2.31 (a), "The Chief Executive Officer of the research facility shall appoint an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee qualified through the expertise and experience of its members to assess the facility's animal program, facility and procedures"

The purpose of the IACUC is to act as an internal overseer of animal use in research, testing and teaching and to ensure that Animal Welfare Act mandates, federal laws enforced by the United States Department of Agriculture, are being followed. The 涩里番下载 IACUC derives its authority from the Animal Welfare Act.

The IACUC is responsible for several areas of animal research as listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Subchapter A, Animal Welfare, Part 2 including:

• Reviewing and accepting, rejecting or requiring modifications on any research proposal involving animals
• Inspecting animal care facilities, including labs and study areas, semiannually
• Investigating concerns involving animal husbandry and use

The IACUC must be notified of, and approve, the location of all vertebrate animals being used for research, testing and training.
