People & Perspectives: Bernard Rollin - (Excerpt) The Concept of "the Animal Care Committee"

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs) are centrally important in applying laws about animal research in the United States. Most research involving laboratory animals is funded by the United States National Institutes of Health or, to lesser extents, other federal agencies. The NIH Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) has been directed by law to develop policies that describe the role of Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees.
