Marywood University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee Annual Report Fiscal Year 2013-2014 The Marywood University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee was comprised of the following members from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014: Position Name Chair Maria Montoro Edwards, Ph.D. Veterinarian F. Claire Hankenson, DVM, MS, DACLAM Non-Affiliated Member Rosemary M. Cook, CVT, Ph.D. Scientist Michael Kiel, Ph.D. Non-Scientist Wendy Yankelitis Non-Scientist Deborah L. Wardach Administrator Laura Ann Camlet Houser, Ph.D. A committee meeting was held on October 14, 2013. Since there were no new protocols on campus during the time period of October 2013 through March 2014, it was not necessary to conduct an annual program review at a convened meeting of the IACUC during the Spring of 2014. Currently, there are no active protocols on campus. Therefore, the IACUC is inactive. When another animal protocol is submitted, the members of the IACUC will continue to ensure that animal research at Marywood University is conducted with care and compliance. Veterinary care is provided consistent with the requirement to provide adequate veterinary care to all species as per The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and the USDA Animal Welfare Regulations. To date, no animal health issues have been brought to the Attending Veterinarian. The Attending Veterinarian, Dr. F. Claire Hankenson, serves as a consultant in this capacity and is a board-certified specialist in laboratory animal medicine. Evening and weekend animal care (when there are live animals on campus) is provided by the investigator for the approved research protocols. However, there are currently no live animals on campus requiring animal care. Submitted by: Laura Ann Camlet Houser, Ph.D.
