CAC (Committee on Animal Care)

Definition

MIT's Committee on Animal Care was established to ensure that all MIT, WIBR, and Broad Institute researchers working with animals or making funds available to support other researchers' work with animals comply with federal, state, local, and institutional regulations on animal care. To that end, the CAC inspects animals, animal facilities and laboratories, and reviews all research and teaching exercises which involve vertebrate animals or other tissues before activities are performed.
