Webinar: (2019-11) Adopting and Retiring Research Animals: Best Practices and Lived Experiences


Many institutions have well-established practices pertaining to adoption/retirement of research animals. As legislative efforts at the federal and state levels increasingly make such practices mandatory, it’s in the interest of research institutions to proactively create and improve their adoption/retirement programs. Such programs enable institutions to maintain control of their own practices, gain public trust, and provide alternatives for healthy post-study animals that meet institutional adoption/retirement criteria. (Presented on November 7, 2019)
