IACUC Resources

Grinnell’s IACUC reviews all research and teaching projects that involve vertebrate animals.  Faculty conducting research or teaching activities using vertebrate animals must complete the requirements for animal use approval listed below and submit materials to the IACUC chair or Research Compliance Manager.  Researchers and course instructors need to notify the IACUC of modifications to protocols and personnel changes by submitting a Continuing Review and Modification (CRM) AUP to the IACUC.  They also need to be prepared for IACUC inspections of animal facilities.
