Use of
Radioactive Compounds in Animals and the Laboratory Setting
The use of radioactive compounds in animal research requires a
coordinated
approval process by both the Radiation Hazards Committee and the Institutional
Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) as well as permission to
use radioactive substances from the Office
of Radiation Safety . Researchers must have an active
Application
for Non-Human Use of Radioactive Material approved by the Radiation
Hazards
Committee. In addition, researchers must complete IACUC
Supplemental Form R; IACUC staff ensure coordination of this
process. |
