University Laboratory Animal Resources (ULAR) is a campus-wide organization that provides support for research and instructional programs. It is responsible for the care of a wide variety of animals - from fish to frogs and goats to guinea pigs.

The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is a self-regulating entity that, according to U.S. federal law, must be established by institutions that use laboratory animals for research or instructional purposes to oversee and evaluate all aspects of the institution's animal care and use program.
