Subject: [DIVOFFICERS] Call for Comments: Revised guidelines for ethical conduct in the care and use of nonhuman animals in research
CARE seeks comments on revised guidelines for ethical conduct in the care and use of nonhuman animals in research
The Committee on Animal Research and Ethics (CARE) is seeking comments on the draft of its newly revised Guidelines for Ethical Conduct in the Care and Use of Nonhuman Animals in Research.
The Guidelines, which were last published in 1996, were based on Section 6.20 of the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (1992). CARE revised guidelines in light of changes in federal regulations and standard practices for research with nonhuman animals, and to update it in keeping with the 2002 APA Ethics Code. CARE developed these guidelines to assist psychologists who work with nonhuman animals in ensuring humane treatment of the animals and compliance with regulatory and policy requirements.
The draft document was on the agenda for consideration by governance groups at the spring 2011 consolidated meetings. Comments are also being solicited from divisions and state and provincial associations.
Additional information is available in a notice published in the Science Directorate newsletter, Psychological Science Agenda.
Comments may be submitted via e-mail to Sangy Panicker, Staff Liaison to CARE at spanicker@apa.org. The deadline for comments is July 31, 2011.
