  • Abstract:
  • The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC) under the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA) provide a structured framework for ethical oversight in animal research. These SOPs are designed to ensure compliance with national regulations while promoting the welfare of animals used in scientific studies. The SOP outlines the composition, roles, and responsibilities of the IAEC, including the requirement for a minimum quorum for meetings and the mandatory attendance of CPCSEA nominees. It details the process for submitting research proposals, including deadlines and required documentation, ensuring that all submissions undergo thorough ethical review. The SOP also emphasizes the importance of maintaining records related to animal care, procurement, and experimental procedures, in line with CPCSEA guidelines. Moreover, the SOP incorporates the principles of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) to minimize animal use and enhance ethical standards in research practices. By adhering to these procedures, institutions can foster a culture of ethical responsibility and scientific integrity in animal research, ultimately contributing to the advancement of humane and scientifically valid experimental methodologies.
