OLAW IACUC Staff Outreach Program

OLAW has developed an educational outreach program to help IACUC staff at Assured Institutions explore their responsibilities in the oversight of PHS-funded research that involves the use of live vertebrate animals. The program consists of a series of online seminars to be held quarterly. Each will include a presentation followed by a question and answer period. Seminars will be presented by OLAW staff and guest speakers from public and private institutions. Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance by email. Topics for future seminars are also welcome.

Participation is free, but advance registration is required. Attendance capacity is limited, so register now and take advantage of this interactive program to learn about current topics from the comforts of your own office.

Seminars will start at 2PM Eastern time (1PM Central, 12 Noon Mountain, 11AM Pacific). The schedule for 2008 is:

  1. June 12, “Preparing for Animal Rights Extremist Activities at Your Institution”.
  2. September 18, “Freedom of Information Act Policies”.
  3. December 4, “When Terms and Conditions are not met”.
