Care and Use of Animals in 研究

The use of vertebrate animals in research at NJIT requires registration, 审查, and approval by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at Rutgers University-Newark.

研究 Compliance

NJIT relies on the Rutgers-Newark IACUC for 审查 and approval of vertebrate animal research conducted by NJIT researchers in order to ensure compliance with all regulations, policies and standards that protect animal welfare.

All persons working with animals must receive training regarding procedures and equipment to ensure their safety and that of the animals. Training must occur prior to the handling of animals. The principal investigator of a research project is responsible for ensuring that personnel working on the project have received all required training.

NJIT researchers contemplating the use of animals in their research or in the early stages of preparing to use animals in their research should contact Dr. Raju Tamot (拉.k.tamot@hghgjm.com), Assistant Director, 研究 Compliance Integrity, Office of 研究 and/or Dr. Eric Hetherington (erich@hghgjm.com), Executive Director in the Office of 研究 at NJIT.
