Follow-Up: AAALAC International Site Visit 2022

The Animal Research Protection Division of the Office of Research Protections thanks you for your participation and support during the recent 2022 AAALAC International site visit.


As part of continued programmatic improvement suggested by the site visitors, a very short training video was produced related to rodent medical record keeping and our expectations for providing information using Blue Procedure Cards.  If you work with rodent models, please review this four-minute video.


Additionally, some inconsistencies were noted in signage posted at rodent CO2 euthanasia stations.  Please download this updated signage and post it at the location of any CO2 euthanasia stations in your laboratory space.
