Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee

The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) reviews proposed studies involving animals to ensure that the animals are treated ethically and humanely, in accordance with the laws and policies set forth by the USDA, OLAW, and Liberty University. The IACUC also:

• Ensures that all researchers and laboratory personnel are properly trained in the handling and care of animals.
• Approves any teaching or research activity involving the use of vertebrate animals.
