Research Compliance

At SFA, our Research Compliance mission is upheld by three committees that play vital roles in maintaining and bolstering ethical standards within our research programs: the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, the Institutional Biosafety Committee and the Institutional Review Board. The IACUC ensures animal welfare, the IBC maintains oversight in the secure handling of select agents, pathogens and toxins, and the IRB focuses on safeguarding human subjects. Together, these committees exemplify SFA's commitment to ethical research practices and compliance.
