Answer:

review all proposals for animal research to be sure the procedures to be used are appropriate and humane.

Explanation:

The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is a federal committee responsible for approving and/or prohibiting the use of animal (nonhuman vertebrate) subjects for research, testing and teaching purposes, as well as the inspection of animal facilities. IACUC evaluates the institution's animal programs and procedures as described by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW). This committee has the task to verify animal's well-being by minimizing pain and distress (for example, by ensuring the use of non-invasive methods when possible). Researchers/educators that use animals for research/teaching purposes must previously submit a written request defined by the IACUC's guidelines.
