Animal Ethics
The Office of the Vice-President (Research, Innovation and International)’s Office of Research Ethics and Security supports cutting-edge science while ensuring that the use of animal subjects in research and teaching conforms to the most rigorous ethical standards.
Our team leads the Animal Care Committee (ACC), which meets monthly to grant approvals for proposed research involving the use of animals at Carleton. To ensure full compliance with the Canadian Council on Animal Care and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, we also coordinate Animal Care and Veterinary Services.
All research involving animals conducted by faculty, staff, or students at Carleton University must be approved by the ACC.

Personnel may complete CCAC training modules and a facility orientation before being placed on a protocol, however must be on a protocol before any hands-on training can […]
- Note, browser compatibility: Internet Explorer or Firefox, not Google Chrome or Safari
- To modify a protocol submit the applicable amendment for review: The following amendment forms apply to both lab and wildlife protocols: Submit an annual renewals and/or final closures form: See how to submit forms as a cuResearch Event.
- 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 […]
