The Eastern Oregon University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) oversees the use of animals in university research and teaching activities. The IACUC reviews animal use protocols (AUPs), reviews the animal care and use program, and monitors animal facilities at Eastern Oregon University to ensure research compliance with ethical standards and regulatory requirements. If you are interested in conducting research focused on vertebrate animals, please review IACUC policies and requirements, and submit an application on our Application submission page.
