NIH Orders UNC Lab Investigation

By Benji Cauthren | June 20

UNC officials are working to bring their standards for animal research into compliance with National Institutes of Health regulations after a formal complaint filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in April. Tony Waldrop, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, said UNC received a letter from the NIH last week that calls for the University to review its animal care and use program. The letter does not call for any specific changes but does request that UNC's Animal Care and Use Committee submit the results of the investigation by Aug. 2.

The $2 million board and public address system were to be funded privately. "Because of the budget constraints the state and University face this year, Dick Baddour and I feel it is better to delay the installation of the video board," Moeser stated in a press release.
