Literature searches for the "3R’s" -- Refinement, Reduction, and Replacement -- are required for Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocols that include animals covered by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and that are classified in the USDA Pain Classifications D or E. This session will cover the regulations and provide tips for searching the literature. (subject matter: animal subjects) 

Researchers using warm-blooded species (other than birds, mice of the genus Mus, and rats of the genus Rattus) classified in the USDA Pain Classification D or E are required to conduct a literature review addressing the 3Rs: Refinement, Reduction, and Replacement. This session will provide tips for searching the literature and meeting the IACUCs requirements.
