| The IACUC has established a series of on-line training modules for investigators which must be completed before animal use will be allowed. You will need to establish an account with the AALAS Learning Library by clicking Subscribe (on the upper right of the page next to Sign In), select “Yes” for “Were you provided an access code by an institution already subscribed to the AALAS Learning Library”, then entering "USCTraining". You will then be able to create your own username and password. Please enter all of the requested information. The account registration must be approved by the DLAR staff; you will receive a notice when your account is approved. When you next log in you should be asked to enter further information including PI/Supervisor, USC Billing Fund #, and Department. There is a one-time fee of $20 per person, which provides access to all online modules. The IACUC has several other policies concerning animal use which investigators must be familiar with: Care and Use of Laboratory Animals Cell Line Use in Live Animals Use of Expired Material and Non-Pharmaceutical Grade Drugs Euthanasia of Laboratory Animals Food and Water Restriction of Animals Use of Freud's Adjuvant in Laboratory Animals Genetically Modified Animals and Unexpected Outcomes Housing of Aquatic Species Humane Endpoints in Animal Use Proposals Importation of Rodents Inspection of USC Animal Facilities by Non-USC Personnel Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee Mouse Cage Density Multiple Survival Surgery Procedures Nonhuman Primates Physical Restraint of Animals Post Approval Monitoring Quarantine and Stabilization of Animals Reporting Concerns about the Use of Laboratory Animals Review of Animal Use Protocols Rodent Survival Surgery Service Animals Social Housing and Environmental Enrichment Sterilization of Instruments and Supplies for Aseptic Surgery Procedures Training Personnel for Laboratory Animal Use or Care Use of Volatile Anesthetics |
