Animal Care and Use Program earns AAALAC reaccreditation UGA’s Animal Care and Use Program has again earned full accreditation from AAALAC International, affirming the university’s commitment to the highest standards of animal welfare in research and instruction. This prestigious designation follows a rigorous site visit and reflects the exceptional care provided by UGA’s animal care staff and research community. Plan ahead for IACUC protocol approvals
The Office of Animal Care and Use urges researchers to submit IACUC protocols at least four months before the desired approval date. Rising workload and review volume have extended approval timelines, and urgent requests may delay other submissions. Help keep the process fair—plan early and avoid jumping the queue. For more information, contact iacuc@uga.edu.
