Having served on IACUCs in academia, industry, and biotech sectors for over 15 years, I recommend the second edition of The Care and Feeding of an IACUC: The Organization and Management of an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committeeas a must-read for anyone who has the privilege of serving on an IACUC. The information presented is clear and concise and provides readers with a big-picture overview of the role, responsibilities, and significance of an IACUC as well as the role it plays in facilitating research efforts and outcomes. Not once while reading this book did I feel overwhelmed or bored by the information conveyed. On the contrary, I kept thinking how useful this resource would have been at the start of my career in the field of biomedical research. I strongly recommend that this book be required reading for everyone serving on an IACUC, regardless of how experienced they may be, because I believe everyone can glean something useful from the information presented. -Laike St. A. Stewart, DVM, DACLAM, University of Miami, Florida, in JAVMA From the Foreword I personally know and have worked with the editors of this edition and am extremely impressed with the distinguished chapter authors they have assembled to write the book. The editors and authors have worked in the IACUC trenches and thus know exactly what is important for the reader to understand, without burdening the reader with excessive information. It will definitely help principal investigators improve the quality of their protocols, and in the end, expedite the review process. For IACUC committee members and staff, it will clarify your responsibilities and help you focus on the important issues. -Victor S. Lukas, DVM, Diplomate ACLAM, Attending Veterinarian, University of California, Davis Praise for the First Edition The chapters are pertinent...well written...a valuable addition to the library of any facility. Perhaps the greatest value in this book is its potential as a part of a training program for IACUC members. -Contemporary Topics in Laboratory Animal Science The Care and Feeding of an IACUC: The Organization and Management of an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee superbly illustrates the progress and advances the animal-using communities have made in implementing these and other improvements in their animal care and use programs. -Richard C. Simmonds, Diplomate ACLAM, Director, Laboratory Animal Medicine, University and Community College System of Nevada Having served on IACUCs in academia, industry, and biotech sectors for over 15 years, I recommend the second edition of The Care and Feeding of an IACUC: The Organization and Management of an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee as a must-read for anyone who has the privilege of serving on an IACUC.
