5. Post Approval Monitoring

Monitoring provides an opportunity to improve and refine animal welfare and concomitant high quality reproducible data as well as to ensure transparency. There are several elements to the program led by the ACC and Animal Care and Veterinary Services (ACVS):

• Veterinary and ACVS Rounds
• ACC Annual Site Visits
• Post Approval Reviews
• Non-Compliance Response

If researchers have concerns about the care and use of animals, refer to our Post Approval Monitoring page.
