Spring 2012 Semi-Annual Inspections May 1-14

The Johns Hopkins University Animal Care and Use Committee (ACUC) is federally mandated to conduct semi-annual inspections of all areas where live animals are housed or used in research or teaching. Members of the ACUC will come to your area on the day specified in the inspection schedule that was sent to all Principal Investigators.   

Please have someone who is knowledgeable in the animal procedures conducted in your laboratory available to answer questions.   If no one can be present during your inspection time please contact our office.  If someone is available nearby, but not in the lab, please put a note on the door directing the inspectors where to reach that person.
