Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)

The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at Mississippi State University is charged with (1) establishing and reviewing compliance with standards and procedures relating to laboratory animal welfare, and (2) advising individuals and agencies dealing with such animals.

University instructors and researchers planning projects that utilize regulated animals must submit their proposed protocol to the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee for review and approval of animal care and use aspects.

The MSU Office of Laboratory Animal Resources (OLAR) is the service unit that provides veterinary care and animal husbandry resources for all animals required in biomedical research, teaching, and testing programs at MSU.
