University of Colorado Denver (UC DENVER ) Introduction The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) maintains oversight review for federally mandated rules and regulations with regard to animal research, ethi cs, misconduct and biomedical research for the University of Colorado Denver (UC Denver). Policy Statement Federal regulations and our accrediting agency (AAALAC) require the Office of Laboratory Animals Resources (OLAR) to report UC Denver animal usa ge to them and to ensure that animals are counted against current IACUC approved protocols. OLAR determines animal usage at UC Denver through the animal ordering system . This records , against investigator protocols , the number of animals received and hou sed from outside sources, as well as animals weaned from approved breeding colonies .
