Animal Resources works collaboratively with faculty and staff to provide the best-possible care, optimizing animal welfare per the needs of each species and thereby also helping to provide for high quality science.
Animal Resources helps administer the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee and provides technical state-of-the-art services for the Nevada Transgenic Center, a core transgenic facility for the NSHE system.
The office reports to Research & Innovation and the VPRI (the Institutional Official) throughout all of the University's programs of animal care and use.
The University is fully accredited by AAALAC International, a non-profit global organization of animal science experts and professional organizations that promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs.
