Animal Welfare

Manne Research Institute and Lurie Children's are committed to the ethical and humane treatment of animals involved in research, education, and testing activities. We uphold all applicable federal, state, and institutional regulations. We partner with Northwestern University’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) to ensure all animal care and use activities meet or exceed federal and state regulations, including the Animal Welfare Act and Public Health Service Policy. This collaboration helps us maintain the highest standards of animal care, oversight, and transparency.

Visit the Northwestern University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) website for animal research needs, including protocol submission, amendments, training and guidance. Please note that this link does require a NU NetID; if you do not have a NetID, review the resources posted under  "Northwestern University NET ID Access for Lurie Children's Personnel" or complete a request form.
