Reporting Animal Welfare Concerns
The IACUC relies on the observations of individuals to ensure the well-being of all research animals. All research personnel as well as animal husbandry staff are encouraged to contact the IACUC Administrative Office if they:
- See animals that appear to be in pain/distress;
- Witness or are involved in an incident that may impact the welfare of laboratory animals at UCI;
- Have a concern about the conduct of personnel handling laboratory animals;
- Have a concern about protocol integrity or possible scientific misconduct.
These reports can be made by phone, email, or in writing. All reports are treated with the strictest confidence; your anonymity will be protected.
If you see something, say something!
