Vertebrate Animal ResearchThe housing or use of live vertebrate animals in a laboratory, field or other situation by faculty of the University for teaching and/or research is regulated by the US Department of Agriculture and in certain cases by the National Institutes of Health as well. WPU complies with these regulations through its Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), the Committee on Laboratory Animal Welfare (CLAW). CLAW meets twice a year to conduct an on-site inspection of the facilities where vertebrates are housed and to evaluate all active and proposed protocols for animal use. Approved protocols have a life of three years, and can be continued.For information on the WPU CLAW policy and to obtain a protocol form, please contact Dr. Robert Benno, Chair, at 973-720-3440.
