Security Access to Facilities

All personnel working with animals in an IACUC approved scientific research or teaching study and requiring access to animal housing facilities have to complete the initial IACUC required Animal Research Mandatory Training. This includes CITI on-line training (find full instructions on the Research Integrity website) and the attendance of the didactic session “Ethical Use of Animals, IACUC Function and the 3R’s.” You can sign up for the session through the training calendar.

The third and final step to acquire access to facilities is to meet and train with the facilities manager.

Please contact CM Facilities Manager to sign up for a facility tour.
