IACUC - Animal Regulations & Guidance
The humane care and appropriate treatment of research animals is a priority at Cornell. Institutions using animals for research and teaching must establish and maintain standards and safeguards protecting the health and well - being of the animals.
In the planning and development of a research project, investigators must follow regulations and principles for the humane care and use of the animals involved in the research. Appropriate federal and state regulations must be followed in the conduct of the research. Additional guidance is provided from Cornell and other regulatory agencies to assist the investigators in developing and conducting their research projects.
