Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee
Welcome to the University of Massachusetts Boston Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) web site. The assurance number issued by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare for this institution is A3383-01.
The IACUC reviews all research protocols that involve the use of animals. UMass Boston is committed to the proper care and treatment of all animals that may be used in biomedical or behavioral research.
Please contact Kristen Kenny in the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at (617) 287-5374 or kristen.kenny@umb.edu with any questions about the IACUC or the conduct of research with animals.
As a university, we are required by the U.S. Office of Research Integrity to ensure that your research protocols are reviewed and that you have completed the necessary training before permitting you to begin your research project. Please thoroughly review the five bulleted sections and obtain the federally required LATA certification.
