Who regulates animal research on campus?

Posted on January 2, 2015

Both federal and university bodies regulate research using vertebrate animals:

  • U.S. Department of Agriculture.
  • Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare, National Institutes of Health.
  • Food and Drug Administration.
  • Animal research at UW-Madison is overseen by five animal care and use committees, with assistance from the Research Animal Resources Center.
