IACUCs play a critical role in safeguarding animal welfare and upholding institutional and regulatory standards—but who ensures the quality of their own processes? This session will examine how internal quality reviews serve as an essential tool for strengthening IACUC oversight. Attendees will explore how structured internal audits and self-assessments can proactively identify compliance gaps, enhance operational efficiency, and reinforce ethical standards. The session will also highlight strategies for fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement within research oversight programs, ensuring that the guardians of animal care are effectively supported and guided.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the purpose and scope of internal audits within IACUC frameworks
  • Identify key components of an effective internal audit process, including planning, execution, and follow-up
  • Analyze how review findings can be used to enhance protocol compliance, training, and institutional readiness
  • Discuss strategies for integrating review outcomes into quality assurance and improvement initiatives
