APRIL IACUC 101 FOR SCIENTISTS AT EB 2004 RELEASE DATE: January 15, 2004 NOTICE: NOT-OD-04-017 National Institutes of Health (NIH) The Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW), NIH, will co-sponsor a half-day workshop on the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs) at Experimental Biology 2004. IACUC 101 for Scientists: Dealing with Problem Areas will be presented from 11 am to 3 pm on Saturday, April 17, 2004 in Room 146B of the Washington Convention Center. There is no separate fee for this session, but you must register for EB 2004 to participate, and seating is limited so you are also encouraged to contact the APS Public Affairs Office to reserve a spot. (See http://www.the-aps.org/pa/IACUC/eb04.htm for more information.) IACUC 101 for Scientists has been adapted from the popular IACUC 101 training series created by the Applied Research Ethics National Association (ARENA). This workshop will provide information useful both to IACUC members and to researchers whose protocols require IACUC review. The EB 2004 workshop will move beyond IACUC basics to address areas that require special attention from IACUCs. Topics will include the role of the IACUC as a facilitator of research; the semi-annual review; designated member versus full committee reviews; comparing grants to protocols; post-approval monitoring of protocols; institutional responsibilities; and creating a culture of compliance. Time is allotted within the program for participants to raise questions with representatives of USDA, OLAW, and AAALAC. Participation of women, racial/ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities, and others who have been traditionally underrepresented in science is encouraged. If you have questions or need additional assistance, please contact Alice Ra anan at (301) 634-7105 or araanan@the-aps.org You must be registered for the Experimental Biology meeting to participate, but there is no separate fee for this session.
