Acquisition is defined by how an animal is purchased or obtained for the purpose of research, testing or teaching. All animals must be acquired lawfully and with proper documentation. Disposition is defined by how an animal is discharged when they are no longer needed for research, testing or teaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All methods of acquisition and disposition must be outlined in an approved IACUC protocol. IACUC approval does not guarantee housing or space for animals in their associated facilities or units. The financial responsibility for all animals will remain the responsibility of the principal investigator or their department until final disposition is accomplished unless other arrangements have been made with your department or the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n
