Process for Reporting Concerns About Care & Use of Animals
The University of Washington investigates any allegations of suspected misuse of animals or deficiencies regarding the care and use of research or teaching animals.
An individual reporting a suspected deficiency need not identify him/herself to make a report. Additionally, UW policy and Washington State law protect employees from reprisal or retaliatory action for reporting concerns.
