The Role of IACUCs in Responsible Animal Research

摘要

In order to ensure animal welfare during the course of scientific enquiry, there is a strong framework of animal welfare standards for the use of animals in biomedical research [1], Within the United states much of animal research in the public sector is covered under the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (PHS Policy), which is under the provision of the Health Research Extension Act (HREA, 1985) (Public Law 99-158) [2].
