NIH Staff 
You should attend the IA Refining if you are an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) member or staff, Institutional Official, veterinarian, animal facility personnel, administrator, consultant, or compliance and regulatory personnel, and are already familiar with federal animal welfare oversight standards.
The Interagency Collaborative Animal Research Education (ICARE) Project provides training for U.S. IACUC members and animal program personnel. IA Refining (Refining IACUC Function) is a fast-paced 3-day workshop that provides participants with an understanding of animal welfare oversight concepts, enables them to correct misunderstandings of federal standards, and learn methods for more efficient and effective animal program and IACUC functioning.
