Lab Re-accredited
MCG’s laboratory animal care program has been re-accredited for three years by the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International. The private, nonprofit association based in Rockville, Md., promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through a voluntary accreditation program.
MCG’s Office of Laboratory Animal Services has maintained full accreditation by the association since 1978; accreditation is re-evaluated every three years.
The association team noted strong administrative support for the animal care and use program as evidenced by the addition of a new animal facility in the Interdisciplinary Research Building Phase II, as well as an engaged and effective Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.
