Changes to the “Group 2: Researchers” course
• New required modules have been added to this course
• Required to take the new course at the time of renewal
Discussion of appropriate training is found throughout the five chapters of the Guide. At a
minimum, the PHS Policy and the Guide require institutions to:
• ensure that individuals who use or provide care for animals are trained and qualified in the
appropriate species-specific housing methods, husbandry procedures, and handling
techniques;
• ensure that research staff members performing experimental manipulation, including
anesthesia and surgery, are qualified through training or experience to accomplish such
procedures humanely and in a scientifically acceptable fashion;
• provide training or instruction in research and testing methods that minimize the number of
animals required to obtain valid results and minimize animal distress;
• ensure that professional staff whose work involves hazardous biological, chemical, or physical
agents have training or experience to assess potential dangers and select and oversee the
implementation of appropriate safeguards; and
• ensure compliance with any initial and continuing education regarding State requirements for
the licensing of veterinary or animal health technicians.
