CRI’s IACUC is the oversight body for monitoring and enforcing all animal care and use activities in accordance with CRI’s ACUP, policies and standard operating procedures, as well as according to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and the Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes.The committee comprises CRI animal researchers, non-laboratory animal researchers, non-scientists, non-affiliated scientists, and non-affiliated non-scientists. The IACUC also conducts annual ACUP reviews and animal facility inspections, as well as reviews all CRI animal use protocols and makes recommendations for their approval by the Institutional Official (IO) prior to work on any project dealing with laboratory animals being carried out in the facility.
