About the IACUC Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is comprised of the IACUC Chairs, the Institutional Official, and the Institutional Veterinarian.

The Committee meets on a monthly basis. The agenda for each Executive Committee meeting reflects the current concerns of the IACUC, the institution, the administration, and individual members. The Executive Committee is regularly briefed on ongoing local compliance concerns and national level animal care and welfare issues as well as animal rights activities and associated security concerns.

The Executive Committee’s primary focus is to address policy and procedural issues, provide guidance to the IACUC, deal with issues of non-compliance, and facilitate program review and facility inspections.

The Executive Committee is instrumental in preparing for institutional accreditation visits.
