At
Institution X, all animals must be maintained in an animal care facility
certified, or otherwise approved, by the IACUC. All animal care facilities
must meet pertinent federal and state regulations, policies, and laws. As
neither the researcher nor the graduate student have any experience with
the care of rats, the IACUC will require the researcher to house the animals
in the department’s animal facility. In addition, keeping rats in
a laboratory where members of the public participating as human subjects
come and go may be unsafe, and is generally inappropriate. |
