How Your IACUC Is Structured
<< back · tutorial index · next >>
Your IACUC will have at least five members, including people with the following
backgrounds.
- A veterinarian with experience in laboratory animal science
and medicine, who has direct or delegated authority and responsibility
for activities involving animals at the institution.
- A practicing scientist experienced in research with animals.
- A person whose primary concerns are in a nonscientific area,
e.g., an ethicist, lawyer, or member of the clergy.
- A person not affiliated with the institution who represents
community interests and who is not a laboratory animal user.
Other IACUC members are usually faculty members and fellow researchers
who are familiar with the issues you are facing and can serve as
resources to help you prepare the best possible application.
