The UAA Animal Care Program is detailed in this institution's Assurance of Compliance with PHS Policy on the Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (see Documents for information). This Assurance describes the basic functioning of our committee and the lines of authority at UAA. In order to clarify issues specific to this university, the IACUC periodically issues policy statements. These policy statements are intended to address controversial or poorly understood issues. Our page on frequently asked questions may also provide valuable information about your responsibilities. Please contact Dr. Eric Murphy at afesm@uaa.alaska.edu or 907-786-1626 or Joanne Thordarson at anjkt@uaa.alaska.edu or 907-786-1099 if you cannot find the information you need.
