                            Agroecosystems Management Research** Project Number: 5030-31000-007-008-N
                        
                        Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement Start Date: Jun 1, 2021
                        
                        End Date: May 31, 2026 **Objective:**
                        
                        To utilize the Iowa State University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (ISU IACUC)to ensure compliance with applicable ARS policies (ARS P&P 130.4.v.2), the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) Regulations, Public Health Service (PHS) Policy, the NRC "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals," and the FASS "Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Research and Teaching" (FASS Ag Guide). **Approach:**
                        
                        USDA animal scientists conduct research on food-producing animals using Cooperator's facilities, research farms, and personnel. In order to avoid ambiguity, duplication of research proposal reviews, and recordkeeping, both the ARS and Cooperator wish to operate under a single set of rules/guidelines that all employees (ARS and Cooperator) working on Cooperator's research farms or in either Cooperator's or ARS' facilities will adhere to.
