Policy Summary

The Nipissing University Animal Care Committee has an ethical, scientific and social responsibility (refer to NU-RES-2011.03 - Nipissing University Animal Care Terms of Reference) to apply protocol review and approval criteria in a fair, equitable and consistent manner. This requires the provision of complete and appropriate information by the principal investigator. Protocols involving physical and/or psychological distress (pain, fear) must be fully reviewed and require strong scientific justification that is clearly supported by current knowledge.
