Overview
The Division of Laboratory Animal Resources (DLAR) encompasses several facilities and supports research across the six schools of the Health Sciences. The mission of the DLAR is to provide quality, humane animal care and services in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and to support existing and future animal research programs at the University. This mission is accomplished through quality animal husbandry and veterinary care, facility maintenance, and education and training of the University biomedical community and the public about laboratory animal science. The programs and facilities are USDA registered and covered under an Assurance with the Office of Lab Animal Welfare (OLAW) of the PHS and accredited by the American Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Lab Animal Care (AAALAC), within the Division. DLAR forms and animal care policies may be found on the IACUC website: http://www.iacuc.pitt.edu/forms.asp
