On Wednesday and Thursday, April 22-23, 2009, in Washington, D.C.,
Georgetown University with contributions from NIH OLAW will sponsor the
two-day program "IACUC 101 and IACUC 201 Plus" at the Georgetown
University Hotel and Conference Center.

**[IACUC 101: "The Basics"]{.underline}** is a full day didactic and
interactive training course for both and seasoned IACUC members, and
IACUC affiliates, including IACUC administrators, trainers,
veterinarians, animal care staff, researchers, regulatory personnel,
individuals responsible for their institution's animal care program and
others interested in IACUC roles and responsibilities. The program is
delivered by top-notch faculty who are renowned for their expertise in
institutional animal care and use issues and program development. This
includes representatives from both private and academic biomedical
research institutions as well as the AAALAC, USDA and OLAW. The morning
and early afternoon sessions will provide a basic yet comprehensive
overview of the laws, regulations, and policies that govern the humane
care and use of laboratory animals, supplemented with examples and
possible approaches for successful and effective administration. Current
available resources to help IACUCs stay abreast of the latest
information and take advantage of networking opportunities also will be
covered. The material and information provided during the course will be
applied during the later afternoon session when students will be
challenged to consider, deliberate and develop action plans for a
variety of potential IACUC scenarios. Students receive an extensive
resources manual, as well as copies of relevant laws, regulations,
policy and guides.

**[IACUC 201 PLUS: "The Process Plus Select Topics"]{.underline}** is a
highly interactive program that takes the fundamentals of IACUC 101 and
applies them to the process and mechanisms of consistent compliance. The
morning session is divided into three tracts based on an individual's
IACUC role, responsibility and interests. Each tract focuses on the
various possible approaches for conducting protocol review, program
review and facility inspection within the requirements of the law,
regulations and policy. The entire group reconvenes to listen to a
complex IACUC scenario delivered by program faculty with multiple
opportunities for audience questions and responses from USDA, OLAW and
AAALAC representatives.

As in the morning session, the afternoon session is divided into three
tracts based on an individual's IACUC role, responsibility and
interests. Program faculty will facilitate discussions on three selected
areas, the nature of which will be based on current trends, regulatory
climate and/or timely "hot topics" of interest to the biomedical
research community. Topics may vary from course to course.

The program concludes with an open question and answer session with
representatives of OLAW, USDA, and AAALAC, completion of program
evaluations, and distribution of attendance certificates.
