OLAW Offers New Brochure on "What Investigators Need to Know About the Use of Animals"

OLAW has created a brochure intended to communicate to investigators their responsibilities under PHS Grants Policy and PHS Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. What Investigators Need to Know About the Use of Animals provides a succinct resource for investigators to quickly grasp the main expectations and requirements when using animals in research supported by the PHS. The brochure may be accessed as a PDF here or in Word here. OLAW will provide institutions with enough copies to disseminate to all of their investigators that work with animals. Send requests, along with the number of copies needed, to olaw@od.nih.gov, and please be sure to provide your complete mailing address.
