ICARE DIALOGUES
ICARE DIALOGUES
The ICARE (Interagency Collaborative Animal Research Education) Project invites you to join us for ICARE Dialogues: Optimizing Animal Care and Use Program Success in a Changing Environment (ICARE Dialogues).
ABOUT
ICARE DIALOGUES will be offered at NO CHARGE. Participants are invited to register for any session of interest. Although free, attendance is required of the registered participants. Institutions will forfeit registration for future events if their participant(s) do not cancel registration prior to failing to attend. Registration may be canceled by email to [email protected]. The program format is dialogue, not lecture. Modules and group work are not included in this program.
Those who care for biomedical research animals have the responsibility of providing support to scientists and exemplary care to the animals that depend upon us. To support IACUC members and staff and animal care and use program personnel, the ICARE faculty offers a new online program, ICARE Dialogues: Optimizing Animal Care and Use Program Success in a Changing Environment. The program will provide institutional animal care and use program personnel the opportunity to discuss the following topics:
The ICARE Dialogues will be offered once per day

The animal care and use community is encouraged to submit questions, challenges, solutions, and ideas to [email protected] to influence the topics addressed in ICARE Dialogues. If warranted by community interest, repeat of the initial topics and/or presentation of additional topics will be offered.
Participants may register for any session(s) of interest. Please partner with us by providing demographic information at registration and feedback through a pre and post session survey. Your demographics and feedback will enable us to design more targeted and effective programs to better serve your needs. Completion of our surveys is a requirement to participate in ICARE Dialogues sessions.
The goal of the ICARE Project is to improve animal welfare while reducing regulatory burden and improving compliance with federal standards. To reach that goal, the ICARE faculty have developed and offered workshops since 2016.
