The University of Massachusetts Amherst supports the use of animals for research as an ethical and scientific necessity for the advancement of human and animal well-being, and knowledge and understanding of living systems.
The UMass Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is charged with overseeing the use of vertebrate animals in teaching and research. The IACUC reviews projects using vertebrate animals, inspects facilities and study areas, and submits reports to the Institutional Official. IACUC activities are guided by the U.S. Animal Welfare Act and U.S. Public Health Service Policy.
