Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee
Welcome! |

| UMDNJ-NJMS recognizes the vital role of animals
in biomedical research. Comparative Medicine Resources (CMR) serves scientists
and assures animal well-being. Our staff of veterinarians, technicians and
support personnel are dedicated to the humane and ethical use of laboratory
animals.
UMDNJ-Newark complies with federal mandates, namely the Animal Welfare Act and Public Health Service Policy and works closely with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) that reviews and regulates the use of animals for biomedical research and teaching. The University has had full accreditation from Association of Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) International since 1981 and Letters of Assurance are on file with the NIH in the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW). |

As a nonprofit, tax-exempt public foundation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, FBR receives no government funding and relies exclusively on private contributors to underwrite its programs and services.
