The Animal Research Compliance division of the Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) provides support, resources, education, and oversight to enable compliance with all Federal, State and University policies and regulations to support the proper and necessary use of animals in research and teaching.

Reminders: 

• If you are using infectious agents, biological toxins or recombinant DNA in your research, you must file an application with the Institutional Biosafety Committee.

• Any investigator who can donate their mice or rats to the Raptor Center, please do so. The Raptor Center is in great need of rodents. Remember that transgenic or knock-out mice or rats CANNOT be donated.
