Principal Investigators

Student and faculty investigators are entrusted with an essential role in assuring the humane use and care of animals. In activities they conduct or which are conducted under their direction, they have a direct and continuing responsibility to see that animals are adequately cared for and properly used.

Investigators obtain approval of their projects from the IACUC by completing the IACUC’s form entitled Application for Use of Vertebrate Animals in Research, Teaching or Testing (AUVA). Application forms can be obtained from the office of the Dean of the College Health & Natural Sciences.
