Institutional animal care and use committees (IACUCs) are required by institutions engaged in animal research to review and approve research protocols, ensure compliance with federal regulations, monitor animal welfare, and investigate any concerns related to animal welfare. A committee on animal research ethics (CARE) and a laboratory animal oversight committee (LAOC) may also be present, but the IACUC is the primary committee responsible for protecting the welfare of animal subjects in research. An institutional review board (IRB) is responsible for reviewing and approving research involving human subjects.
