Purpose
This committee is responsible for complying and helping to enforce the legal provisions applicable to the use of lab animals in scientific research. It is also responsible for examining the procedures of experimentation, teaching and scientific research carried out in the institute, and to advise and to certify its compatibility with the current legislation.
It also keeps record of the procedures of experimentation, teaching and scientific research of the institution. Once a year, this commission is also responsible of submitting this record to the National Committee of Animal Experimentation (CNEA).
This group is in charge of the staff registry accredited by the CNEA for the use of animals in teaching and scientific research within the institution. Besides, it promotes the national system of accreditations among staff that handle lab animals; and it issues, within the scope of its powers, the necessary certificates to apply to research funding or scientific journals, among others.
In addition, it is responsible to stop experimental activities, teaching and scientific research if a legal provision is violated, until the irregularity is solved, without prejudice to the application of other sanctions.
