Research with animals is highly regulated. There are international treaties, federal laws and regulations, state laws and statutes, professional society policies and guidelines, funding agency guidelines and requirements, and institutional policies. This module provides an introduction to the principle laws, regulations, guidelines, and institutional policies that shape the UAF animal care program.

The module content has been divided into three content areas that can be accessed through the "Module 2 Topics" links located on the left side of each page in this module. The "Introduction" link will take you back to this page. The "IACUC Training Home" link will take you to the course overview and links to the other modules.

If you are accessing this page through Blackboard, you will find the required test for Module 2 under the Assignments link. You must answer at least 23 of the 25 questions correctly in order to successfully complete this module. However, you may take the test as many times as necessary; only the most recent score is saved in Blackboard so do not reopen the quiz once you have achieved a passing score.
