IACUC Support

At the University of Pittsburgh, literature searches for the "3R’s" are required for Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocols that include animals covered by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and that are classified in the USDA Pain Classifications D or E.

Researchers needing assistance to meet this requirement can consult with a librarian who can conduct the searches, offer keyword suggestions, or provide training on a database.
