Animal activities that requiring
IACUC review
U.S. Public Health Service
(PHS) Policy defines animal as “any live, vertebrate
animal used or intended for use in research, research
training, experimentation, or biological testing or
for related purposes.”
Federal regulations and
Montana State University policy require that all activities
involving the use of animals (e.g., research, testing
or teaching), must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional
Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Examples of animal
use include:
- Development of new therapies for humans and animals
- Pre-clinical drug/device experiments
- Classes to teach surgical and other medical techniques
- Behavioral studies
- Tissue harvest for in-vitro studies
- Breeding of research animals
