Animal Research Facility Access

The IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) requirements MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE access and work in the DAR (Division of Animal Resources) animal facilities is granted. At a minimum, persons must have their research credentials on file with the IACUC and be listed on an approved protocol (details given below). All forms for the IACUC can be found on their website: www.emory.edu/IACUC/forms

All of these requirements must be met before access to animal facilities is given. Unfortunately, no exceptions are allowed. Please note that animal research facility access cards are non-transferable and may not be used by others. Once issued, sharing of cards may result in the immediate deactivation of the card and reporting to the IACUC. Please report lost cards or facility access complications directly to the DAR.
