Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee
In accordance with government and institutional polices, the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) was created to oversee and evaluate all aspects of the use of vertebrate animals in research, teaching, research training, and biological testing. It is a self-regulating body that derives its existence from the Animal Welfare Act and its amendments, which are administered by the USDA through the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and the Health Research Extension Act and its amendments, which are administered by the National Institutes of Health through the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare. In addition, the IACUC of Brooklyn College is required to uphold the regulations and requirements of the New York State Department of Health as pertaining to the use of laboratory animals.
