Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs) are centrally important in applying laws about animal research in the United States. Similar systems operate in other countries, but generally under different titles; for example, in Canada a typical title would be the University Animal Care Committee (UACC)[1], while in the United Kingdom it would be the Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Body (AWERB)[2].
