The Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare/NIH (OLAW) will join Pennsylvania State University (PSU) and the Ohio State University (OSU) in co-sponsoring a conference entitled, Minimizing the Challenges Associated with an Academic IACUC Program. This educational course will be held October 31 and November 1 at the Nittany Lion Inn at PSU in State College, Pennsylvania. The conference will focus on issues and seek to develop sound resolutions to those items revealed in a survey of over one hundred and twenty-five representatives from academic institutions who were asked to identify IACUC programmatic issues. The program has been designed to provide attendees with opportunities to learn from IACUC experts and colleagues. This interactive conference is targeted for front-line IACUC administrators but will also benefit compliance officers, IACUC Chairs, educators, veterinarians and others interested in IACUC operations.
