Essentials for Animal Research: A Primer for Research Personnel

摘要

The manual was developed from the outlines of a course entitled Essentials forAnimal Research, originally developed at the University of Illinois at Chicago for graduate students who wanted to learn more about the use of animals in research than generally covered in the training received in their chosen area of concentration. From its inception, the course has constantly evolved to remain current with ever-changing regulations and an increasing awareness by graduate students of the issues concerning the use of animals in biomedical research, teaching and testing. The course introduces those elements which have become essential requirements for using animals in research, teaching or testing programs. These requirements primarily center around the responsibilities one assumes when they intend to use animals in their work.
