All individuals using animals in research and/or teaching must complete a course entitled “The Humane Care of Animals in Research/Teaching.” This course is offered several times a year at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and quarterly at the Medical School. It acquaints the participants with Harvard policies as well as federal, state, and city of Cambridge regulations regarding the use of animals. Please contact the Animal Experimentation Coordinator at (617) 432-1288 for course dates and times.
Every member of the Harvard community has a responsibility to report instances of mistreatment of animals or non-compliance with animal use guidelines. To report the mistreatment of vertebrate animals in research or teaching at Harvard, contact the Director of the Office of Animal Resources, Arthur Lage, D.V.M. (617-432-1289), or if anonymity is desired, Administrative Dean of the FAS (617-496-3992). Any questions regarding animal use should be directed to Dr. Lage.
