Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
Colorado State University is committed to the humane and ethical care of animals used in research, teaching, and testing. The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) provides oversight of animal use and reviews activities involving animals to ensure they meet applicable institutional and regulatory requirements.
IACUC oversight applies to animal use in research, teaching, and testing. Researchers must receive appropriate IACUC review and approval before beginning activities that fall under IACUC oversight.
