Communication With the Public

Emerging Challenges and Breaking Issues

F06 - Communicating With and Educating the Public About IACUCs and Their Efforts to Ensure Animal Welfare in Research Settings    

Thursday, December 15, 2022
11:45 AM – 12:45 PM ET
Location: Livestreamed
Livestreaming Session Icon IACUC/Animal Care and Use Deep Dive Series
The importance of communicating with the public about animal models in research is well known. However, the role of the IACUC in the research process is not well understood by the general public. In addition, the communications roles for key IACUC Members—specifically, the IACUC chair and attending veterinarian—are often not well defined. This session will examine the critical role the IACUC can fulfill in enhancing public understanding and trust of animal-based research.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the risks currently faced/declining public support for biomedical research, and outline the benefits of expanded public education around the value of science and research
  • Discuss the IACUC’s role in openness and communication both within their institution and externally
  • Share strategies for how members of the IACUC, especially the chair and attending veterinarian, can engage with the communications office in their institution, and identify the benefits of open communication to these parties
  • Review approaches for increasing public knowledge of the IACUC’s role and how it fits into the much broader and comprehensive research oversight system
