OverviewThis book is about how to manage an institutional animal care and use committee. These committees are required by American federal law to operate in all institutions that use laboratory animals as subjects. This book will emphasize the managerial aspects of IUCACs because as they both oversee and are audited, these commitees are often caught between the researchers and the auditors. The authors' expertise lies in the management of industrial IUCACs where the number of animals used is high and the need for FDA and AALAC compliance is tempered by business considerations.
