The University strives to create a welcoming and safe environment for all members of the University community. Consistent with this goal, the University will not employ persons or appoint unpaid affiliates with prior non-expunged criminal convictions, arrests, charges or driving records (when driving a state-owned or personal/other vehicle is required as an essential function of the position) who pose an unacceptable safety risk to the University or its community.

This policy sets out how certain changes to already approved IACUC animal research protocols at UNC-Chapel Hill can be reviewed through Veterinary Verification and Consultation, rather than requiring a full protocol amendment. It defines which changes may be approved through consultation with a designated veterinarian, as long as they do not increase pain or distress and are covered by existing IACUC-approved guidance.

The University recognizes the importance of providing flexibility for employees to balance work responsibilities with personal obligations and commitments. This policy outlines the regulations regarding flexible work arrangements (FWAs). Departments are encouraged to be open to allowing for FWAs with the understanding that this flexibility must still ensure appropriate employee accountability and be compatible with the operational needs of the work unit.

The standards and procedures described in this document provide guidance to all researchers and animal handlers for managing potential weight loss that may occur due to experimental variables or conditions that could interfere with eating and / or drinking (e.g. difficulty with ambulation).

The standards and procedures described in this document provide guidance to all researchers and animal handlers for requirements for humane endpoints for mice and rats in cancer studies.

The standards and procedures described in this document provide guidance to all researchers and animal handlers for ensuring adequate aseptic technique for all non-USDA regulated rodent (i.e., mice and rats) survival surgeries.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the advantages and disadvantages for animal identification methods in addition to the required training for certain techniques are communicated to animal users.

This document serves to describe the University’s Standards for creating and maintaining aseptic conditions during survival procedures in USDA covered species, while also providing a standard for the pre and post-operative management.

The purpose of this Standard is to ensure sufficient space for rats with litters that will allow pups to develop to weaning age without detrimental effects, and to house adult rats in space that is sufficient for their needs.

This document is intended to ensure sufficient space for mice with litters that will allow pups to develop to weaning without detrimental effects, and to house adult mice in space that is sufficient for their needs. This Standard is a blend of the requirements in the 8th edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and the long-standing, performance-based UNC policy.

The standards and procedures described in this document provide guidance to all researchers and animal handlers for the environmental enrichment of research animals.

The standards and procedures described in this document provide guidance in documentation to all researchers and animal handlers performing duties that would normally be performed by Division of Comparative Medicine (DCM) Husbandry staff (i.e. feed, water, cage change).

The standards and procedures described in this document provide guidance to all researchers and animal handlers for safely disposing of rodent carcasses across UNC research animal facilities.

The standards and procedures in this document provide guidance to all researchers and animal handlers for performing blood withdrawals and tail biopsies in mice and rats.
