IACUC stands for which organization?

• A. International Animal Care and Use Council
• B. Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee
• C. Institute for Animal Compliance and Welfare
• D. Animal Investigative Care and Usage Center

Answer: (B)

IACUC refers to an institutional body that oversees how animals are cared for and used in research, including reviewing and approving study protocols and ensuring humane care standards are met. The correct expansion is Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, which captures that it is an internal committee within an institution responsible for animal care and use oversight. The other options describe terms that aren’t used for this formal U.S. designation and don’t reflect the established role of a dedicated institutional committee.
