USDA's AWIC: Meeting the Requirements of the Animal Welfare Act

Description The Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC) teaches a free, two-day workshop ONLINE for individuals who work with animals in research, teaching, testing, and exhibition and are interested in learning how to find 3Rs alternatives (replacement, reduction, and refinement of animal use) information.

About the Workshop:

The Animal Welfare Act (AWA) regulations require principal investigators to provide Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs) with documentation demonstrating that their activities do not unnecessarily duplicate previous experiments and that alternatives to procedures that may cause more than momentary pain or distress to the animals have been considered (9 C.F.R.

§ 2.31 (d)(1)(ii-iii) (2023)). One way to meet this federal mandate is through an alternatives literature search.

The objectives of the workshop are to provide:

• An overview of the AWA and its regulations;

• An introduction to AWIC and other 3Rs organizations;

• A review of the 3Rs alternatives concept;

• Guidance for where to find 3Rs literature and resources;

Instruction on database literature searching techniques (e.g. search syntax); and

• A demonstration of an alternatives literature search.

This workshop is for researchers/principal investigators, IACUC members, veterinarians, animal care staff, information specialists, librarians, animal use program administrators, and others working with animals in research, teaching, testing, or exhibition.
