conference information
Welcome from PRIM&R’s Executive Director Dear Friends, Welcome to beautiful Bellevue, Washington and the 2016 IACUC Conference: Partnerships and Practical Skills for Advancing Ethical Animal Care and Use! Every year, PRIM&R creates this forum for animal care and use professionals to exchange ideas, learn best practices, and discuss and refine the ethical considerations involved in conducting research with animals. We also look to create new opportunities to facilitate constructive and ongoing conversation on sometimes difficult topics, and to bring our community together. This year, we’re pleased to have joined forces with NWABR, which is holding their 2016 Regional IACUC Conference in conjunction with our 2016 IACUC Conference. We believe this extended educational opportunity offers our community an excellent chance to expand its professional networks, develop stronger regional ties, and grow in your practice of responsible animal care and use.
I would also like to extend my thanks to the more than 100 conference faculty members and 12 poster presenters who, over the next two days, will provide you the most current information, newest and best practices, and their professional expertise and wisdom, so that each of you might return to your home institutions ready and able to strengthen your research programs. We appreciate their leadership and many hours of careful preparation.
Another element of this year’s conference that I’m very excited about is our presentation of PRIM&R’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Research Ethics to Bernard E. Rollin, PhD, Colorado State University. It is an understatement to say that Dr. Rollin has had a significant impact on animal care and use practices and how we think about that work. He founded the field of veterinary ethics and his pioneering leadership and scholarship have influenced every sphere of the human-animal relationship in his four decades of work in the field.
Finally, thank you for being here and demonstrating your commitment to advancing the responsible use of animals in research. It’s an exciting, but challenging, time to be involved in the research enterprise—budgets are tight, technologies and methodologies are evolving, and the demands on your time are significant.
He is our first animal care and use recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, and I’m so pleased that he’ll be with us and giving a keynote address on Friday morning. You can read more about Dr. Rollin on page 56. We wouldn’t be able to offer this dynamic mix without our incredibly hard-working planning committee. I offer my warmest thanks to co-chairs, Jori K. Leszczynski and Natalie L. Mays, and their committee members: B. Taylor Bennett, Carol Clarke, Barbara A. Garibaldi, Ken Gordon (NWABR liaison), F. Claire Hankenson, Melinda Hollander, Tanise L. Jackson, Christian E. Newcomer, Jon D. Reuter, Mary Jo Shepherd, Robert S. Sikes, Susan Silk, Janet D. Stemwedel, and Sally ThompsonIritani, all of whom generously volunteered their time and expertise to craft this exceptional program. PRIM&R would also like to thank several important partners who helped make this meeting possible: AAALAC International, NIH OLAW, USDA APHIS, the Northwest Indian College, and the Edna H. Tompkins Charitable Trust. A special thank you goes to Ken Gordon and NWABR for being a great partner to PRIM&R in the Pacific Northwest.
To get the most out of your attendance, I encourage you to find the combination of sessions that best address your challenges. And, if you have an idea for something you’d like to see at a future conference, please let us know by filling out your evaluation. Before I close, I want to share an important update about PRIM&R. We have just concluded a strategic planning process that resulted in a five-year roadmap for our work. A key element of the plan is our strategic vision for the future: PRIM&R envisions a world in which all stakeholders in the research enterprise share an understanding of and commitment to the centrality of ethics to advancing science and medicine, as exemplified through research policies and practices that align with the highest ethical standards in research. I hope this vision resonates with you, because we can’t achieve it without partners and collaborators from across the research community, including you. I’ll be sharing more details about how we intend to realize this vision in my opening remarks, and in the weeks to come. In the meantime, enjoy your meeting! With best wishes, Elisa A. Hurley, PhD Executive Director

Welcome to Bellevue, Washington! We are delighted to be co-chairing the 2016 IACUC Conference: Partnerships and Practical Skills for Advancing Ethical Animal Care and Use, and we look forward to an exciting and multi-faceted event. Additionally, PRIM&R is pleased to be holding this year’s meeting in conjunction with the 2016 NWABR Regional IACUC Conference, which will take place on March 31. This joint offering is sure to provide attendees with a dynamic opportunity to learn, improve, and make connections that will help you succeed. The PRIM&R IACUC Conference is a collegial place where animal care and use professionals can exchange ideas, discuss best practices, and grapple with the complex ethical issues raised by research with animals. We’re confident this year’s event will challenge you to think about the larger issues related to research ethics and animal care and use. It will also provide you with concrete tools to strengthen your knowledge and skills, as well as ample opportunities for networking. This year’s schedule was crafted by 16 experts (please see the inside cover of this guide), and they were responsible for determining content, recommending faculty, reviewing posters and session proposals, and much more. It was a vast undertaking, and we are certain those efforts have paid off in a conference that offers a wealth of information and insight, as well as practical and applied knowledge. This year’s keynote speakers promise to inform and inspire. On April 1, Bernard E. Rollin, PhD, a University Distinguished Professor, professor of philosophy, professor of biomedical sciences, professor of animal sciences, and university bioethicist at Colorado State University, will be presented with PRIM&R’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Research Ethics, honoring his contributions to the field, and he will then speak about his work on minimizing suffering in laboratory animals. Joseph Garner, DPhil, this year’s Henry Spira Memorial Lecturer, and an associate professor in the department of comparative medicine, a courtesy associate professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and a member of the Child Health Research Institute at Stanford University, will talk on April 1 about the increased relevance of the 3Rs, the evolving role of the IACUC, and opportunities to manifest change for the betterment of animal welfare and human health. And, on April 2, Jeffrey S. Mogil, BSc, PhD, the E.P. Taylor Professor of Pain Studies, the Canada Research Chair in the Genetics of Pain, and the director of the Alan Edwards Centre for Research on Pain at McGill University, will give a keynote address on pain in mice and in humans, and the ironic adventures that can occur in research translation. Moreover, there will be three plenary offerings on the following topics: IACUC oversight and addressing
challenges; protocols using aquatics; and the popular Virtual IACUC session where panelists will work through complicated scenarios with audience interaction. And, there will be 60 breakout sessions on topics related to IACUC administration/management, communication, program management, protocol review, field studies, and more. This year, we’ve created an additional series of breakout sessions, allowing more time for learning and working with others on your most pressing issues. This change is a result of your feedback! We heard you and believe the meeting will be better as a result. Finally, we’re delighted to report that this year’s schedule features eight sessions derived from PRIM&R’s Call for Session Proposals (sessions are noted with a star icon), and 12 exemplary posters were selected for inclusion in this year’s Poster Presentation Program. Please stop by the poster gallery located in the Grand Ballroom Foyer to view this exciting and innovative work. We thank our community for taking the time to submit their ideas, as the schedule is, without a doubt, stronger for these contributions. We rely on the community for fresh ideas and perspectives and so, we encourage you to submit a session proposal and/or poster abstract for the 2017 IACUC Conference. The 2017 Calls for Session Proposals and Poster Abstracts are already open; please visit www.primr.org/iacuc17 for details. So, welcome, again, to the 2016 IACUC Conference. We hope you enjoy the meeting and return to your institutions with innovative strategies and strong collegial networks that can help you enhance your research programs. Warmly, Jori K. Leszczynski, DVM, DACLAM Director for the Office of Laboratory Animal Resources; Associate Professor of Pathology, School of Medicine University of Colorado Denver Natalie L.

Announcements PRIM&R’s Green Initiatives
We’re doing our best to make the 2016 IACUC Conference a “green” meeting. PRIM&R’s environmentally conscious initiatives include: using an electronic evaluation; providing a reusable tote bag; printing this guide using soy-based ink; and using a printer for this guide that runs entirely on wind energy. The Hyatt Regency Bellevue is also devoted to maintaining and cultivating green meeting practices, and has received the 5 Green Keys award from the Hotel Association of America. The hotel recycles more than 50% of its waste through extensive recycling and food composting programs across departments. The hotel is also proud of its sustainable building and materials practices, such as: Conserve, a towel and linen re-use program; high efficiency lighting and thermostats; water conserving bathroom fixtures and toilettes; and the use of eco-friendly products and cleaning supplies for carpets, floors, kitchens, and restrooms.
Principles and Expectations for Participation at PRIM&R Conferences
The objective of PRIM&R’s conferences is to provide a safe and respectful environment for attendees to increase their knowledge and understanding of ethical and regulatory requirements, learn best practices, grapple with both late-breaking and longstanding challenges, and confer with peers and experts in the research ethics field in a constructive way. PRIM&R is committed to being an impartial convener within the research ethics field, which encompasses people with a range of differing opinions. PRIM&R values freedom of expression, constructive and respectful dialogue, and spirited discussion, as they are essential to finding common ground and advancing the goal of responsible, ethical conduct of research with human subjects and animals. To preserve the objectives and integrity of its conferences, PRIM&R will not tolerate the disruption of sessions that results in: • The inability for the learning objectives of sessions to be met • The inability for dialogue, discussion, debate, learning, and/or networking to take place • Harassment, badgering, or verbal threats • The use or threat of physical force by any individual or group of individuals against another • Destruction of property
In the interest of promoting learning for all participants, please keep questions and comments as brief and onpoint to the session topic as possible, identify yourself when you speak, and be mindful of others who wish to participate in the discussion.

Scholarships Institutional Capacity Building Scholarship Program
Many small, underfunded institutions of higher education in the United States need—and lack—fully functioning IACUCs. Of these, many institutions support primarily minority populations with educational disparities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities. Others are health institutions serving minority populations with significant health disparities, such as community clinics, regional or area Indian Health Boards, and tribal governments. In addition, many of these institutions are being asked to take on greater roles in research by participating in studies or initiating their own research activities. To help strengthen these organizations, PRIM&R offers the 2016 IACUC Conference Institutional
Capacity Building Scholarship Program, believing that participation in PRIM&R’s IACUC Conference offers valuable professional development, education, and networking that will aid in addressing these disparities. A full scholarship includes travel arrangements, hotel accommodations, and waived registration fees.
General Assistance Scholarship Program
The General Assistance Scholarship Program assists those members of our community who cannot attend the 2016 IACUC Conference due to financial constraints. Specifically, the program’s goal is to ensure that nonscientist IACUC members receive the same educational opportunities as their colleagues so they may develop their IACUC knowledge. Applications for the 2017 IACUC Conference Scholarship Programs will be available in November 2016.
Many thanks to Pfizer, Inc. for supporting this year’s Scholarship Program

Your Guide to the Conference Schedule
We advise you to use the track descriptors and the session descriptors in the conference schedule to identify the sessions most relevant to you. As you consult these descriptions, please also note the following: 1. Double sessions are held over lunch and include a boxed meal. Attendees should pick up their lunch in Grand Ballroom A-C before arriving at the session. Please note that pre-registration was required for these sessions to help ensure adequate seating. If you did not pre-register, but would like to attend, please go to the session room and wait until the session starts to see if seats are available. 2. The tracks are not meant to be exclusionary; everyone is welcome to attend any session. For example, feel free to attend a session in the “IACUC Administration/ Management and Process” track even if you are not an IACUC administrator. 3. Sessions marked basic provide an introduction to the topic being discussed for those who have little or no prior knowledge of it. The focus is on introducing, explaining, and illustrating basic concepts, principles, regulations, policies, or best practices relevant to the topic. 4. Sessions marked advanced assume mastery of central ethical concepts and principles, the regulations, and the processes of applying them to the day-to-day work of protocol review or other research oversight activities. These sessions provide attendees with in-depth knowledge of an area and a robust set of skills required for addressing difficult problems and navigating “grey
areas”, improving their animal care and use programs, shaping their institutional cultures, or advancing their careers. Sessions will often make heavy use of active learning techniques, such as case studies. Attendees are expected to have sufficient experience and understanding of the topic in order to actively contribute to the discussion and the solution of difficult problems. These sessions will not review basic concepts. 5. S essions that do not have a learning level listed are intended for all audiences.

Panel I: IACUC Oversight: Addressing the Challenges, Understanding the Consequences
Moderator: F. Claire Hankenson Panelists: Andrew B. Buermeyer, Joseph R. Haywood, Cynthia Pekow While IACUCs have the statutory authority to certify the institution’s compliance with the AWA, the Guide expands the scope of that responsibility with its definition of an Animal Care and Use Program to include personnel and program management oversight. This role can present unique challenges that lead to conflicts of interest that may manifest in a myriad of ways. This panel will discuss conflicts related to disputes among committee members and/ or between the committee and other institutional groups or individuals, and implications of suspensions and/or reinstatement of privileges; conflicts related to bridging language and cultural differences in developing a shared commitment to a customary compliance; and conflicts that the committee may place on itself and the institution through regulatory burden in the animal care and use program, as reviewed in the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s recently published report, Optimizing the Nation’s Investment in Academic Research: A New Regulatory Framework for the 21st Century: Part 1 (2015). All of these challenges may lead to disruption, dysfunction, and diminished authority by and confidence in the IACUC process, thus panelists will share their experiences around these challenges and will discuss possible approaches and solutions.

Make Any IACUC More Effective: A VA Perspective (Communication and Networking Track)
Alice Huang, M.A. McCrackin, Joan T. Richerson Has your IACUC struggled with deciding what deficiencies really need to be documented in a semiannual report, how much to say about them, and what’s the point anyway? Has your IACUC documented approved departures from the Guide and then wondered whether they were actually departures at all (but felt it was better to document them anyway, “just to be safe”)? The office of the Chief Veterinary Medical Officer of the VA provides guidance about these and other questions to the 70+ VA facilities with animal research programs, all of which are required by VA policy to comply with the USDA, APHIS, Animal Care and PHS Policies. This interactive session will be of interest to participants from non-VA institutions, as well as VA facilities. During this session, faculty and attendees will: • Discuss how to address and document deficiencies in ways that limit administrative burden to what is effective for improving the animal care and use program • Discuss an example of a potential Guide deviation and determine which of several possible approaches is most compliant with the regulatory requirements and consistent with effective IACUC oversight • Share recent hot-button site visit concerns from the perspective of an AAALAC International ad hoc consultant • Hear brief updates on VA animal research A4

An Open Discussion About Sharing Adverse Events (AEs): Should the Animal Research
Community Use Reporting to Establish Best Practices?
(Hot Topics and Emerging Trends Track)
B. Taylor Bennett, Thea Brabb, David J. Lyons The effective management of an AE in research with animals involves a host of demanding activities: root-cause analysis, creation of a resolution plan, consideration of preventive measures, as well as internal and external communication. It stands to reason that the research community, as a whole, could benefit from lessons learned by individual institutes and by the discovery of patterns of events across institutes. However, the information currently collected via regulatory reporting is limited in scope, and sharing AEs openly by some other means without appropriate safeguards could make an institution vulnerable to criticism. The purpose of this session is to have an open discussion about how the animal research community might benefit by leveraging the extensive work already being done to address AEs. During this session, faculty and attendees will: • Thoughtfully consider the value of sharing AEs for collective analysis •B rainstorm about how to operationalize AE sharing and analysis, the distribution of community alerts, and the promotion of best practices •L earn about persons and organizations with an interest in advancing the use of AE reporting for the benefit of the research community

Issues Confronting Institutions and IACUCs Using and Conducting Clinical Trials in Privately Owned Animals (Program Management Track)
Carol Clarke, Helen E. Diggs, Elaine K. Kim, Venita B. Thornton The need to conduct clinical trials in the veterinary patient population for the advancement of veterinary clinical care, as well as the occasional use of privately owned animals in veterinary educational exercises, can pose challenges for the institutions and IACUCs supporting these activities. Once largely in the domain of the veterinary school environment, studies involving veterinary patients in clinical trials are expanding into other institutional environments when investigators seek a comparative medical approach to the development of new therapies. During this session, faculty and attendees will: • Discuss the regulatory, legal, and ethical dimensions of institutional oversight in these studies • Explore common problems encountered in the review and approval of studies in privately owned animals • Review useful provisions for veterinary patient protection and institutional protection in these situations

Henry Spira Memorial Lecture Since his death in 1998, Henry Spira, a passionate and effective social justice advocate, animal rights activist, and an uncommonly wise and grounded individual, has been recognized at PRIM&R’s IACUC Conference through the Henry Spira Memorial Lecture. PRIM&R hosts this lecture to honor his memory, commemorate his work with alternatives and the 3Rs, and recognize his ability to bring together the scientific and animal rights communities. Mr. Spira was a frequent participant at PRIM&R’s meetings, active both at the podium and in dialogue with the community on issues related to animal welfare. He emphasized the necessity of working across ideological lines and communicating with individuals and organizations that hold opposing points of view. In a 1997 film about his life, Mr. Spira stated, “If there are going to be alternatives to the use of animals, it’s the people in the research community who will be developing alternatives. If you’re going to get the regulatory agencies to change their requirements, it’s going to be animal researchers who are the ones who are going to do it... these are the folks that you need if you’re going to be serious about change…” In this spirit, and in Mr. Spira’s memory, PRIM&R is proud to present the 15th annual Henry Spira Memorial Lecture:
Joseph Garner, DPhil, is an associate professor in the department of comparative medicine, a courtesy associate professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and a member of the Child Health Research Institute at Stanford University. Dr. Garner runs Stanford’s Technique Refinement and Innovation Lab, which provides 3Rs support services for researchers on campus. The overarching theme of Dr. Garner’s
Through careful, elegant, and subtle behavioral analysis, and through his efforts to advance our understanding of the experimental animal’s full behavioral repertoire in response to environmental stimuli, Dr. Garner has reshaped the discussion of what constitutes ethical research with animal models, alternatives, and the 3Rs. His work in enrichment, refinement, and environmental impact has led to advances in how mice are cared for in studies, and he has also worked to emphasize the scientific impact of animal welfare on research. This makes him an appropriate and fitting choice to present the Henry Spira Memorial Lecture. m a rc h 3 0 -A pr i l 2 , b e l l e vu e , was hi n g t on

research is understanding why most drugs (and other basic science findings) fail to translate into human outcomes, the role that animal models and methodology play in in these failures, and developing new approaches to improve the translation and benefits of animal research while minimizing welfare impacts. Dr. Garner is an internationally recognized expert in the behavior and welfare of laboratory mice, including awards from the National Center for the 3Rs (UK), AALAS, the Swiss Laboratory Animal Science Association, and the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare. Dr. Garner also works extensively in human health, both as a researcher and an advocate. Dr. Garner’s current human health research is focused on animal and human studies in autism, and animal work in trichotillomania and skin-picking. The question driving all of this work is “Why does one sibling become ill and another does not?,” and the goal is to identify biomarkers leading to screening, prevention, and personalized treatment options. Dr. Garner’s advocacy work includes serving on scientific advisory boards for the Trichotillomania Learning Center, the Tourette Syndrome Association, and the Beautiful You MayerRokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Foundation.
Lifetime Achievement Award Conference Information PRIM&R’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Research Ethics was created in 2000 to recognize and honor individuals who have made a major and sustained contribution to the development and dissemination of the ethical principles that govern research. Previous recipients include some of the chief architects of the research ethics field: Jay Katz, MD (2001), Charles McCarthy, PhD (2003), Robert J. Levine, MD (2005), Albert R. Jonsen, PhD (2009), Ruth R. Faden, PhD, MPH, and Tom L. Beauchamp, PhD, who received the award jointly (2011), and Joan Rachlin, JD, MPH (2013). This year, PRIM&R’s Board of Directors has selected Bernard E. Rollin, PhD, to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Research Ethics. Dr. Rollin has made considerable and influential contributions to the animal care and use field, and is PRIM&R’s first Lifetime Achievement Award recipient from this field. Dr. Rollin brought the field of applied ethics to veterinary medicine nearly four decades ago, and has prodigiously explored and influenced every dimension of veterinary ethics and the human animal relationship since. He is a creative, provocative, engaging, and even confrontational philosopher and educator who has shared his perspective and stimulated thought and discourse among diverse audiences—veterinarians, research personnel, the large- and laboratory-animal production industries, companion animal breeders, wildlife researchers, and the animal control industry. He is a prolific scholar, intent on ensuring our actions and the regulatory framework for the consideration of animal issues reflect our moral and ethical commitments to animals. Once rare and nearly invisible, Dr. Rollin moved “ethics” squarely and comfortably into the lexicon of veterinary medicine. Dr. Rollin serves as University Distinguished Professor, professor of philosophy, professor of biomedical sciences, professor of animal sciences, and university bioethicist at Colorado State University. He developed the world’s first courses in veterinary medical ethics, ethical issues in animal science, and biology combined with philosophy. He served on the Pew National Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production and
serves on the Institute of Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) Council of the National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Rollin is the author of 20 books, including Natural and Conventional Meaning; Animal Rights and Human Morality; The Unheeded Cry: Animal Consciousness, Animal Pain and Scientific Change; Farm Animal Welfare; The Frankenstein Syndrome; Science and Ethics; and Veterinary Medical Ethics: Theory and Cases, as well as more than 600 articles. He has edited a two volume work: The Experimental Animal in Biomedical Research. For 20 years, Dr. Rollin has written a popular monthly column on veterinary ethics for the Canadian Veterinary Journal. And, he recently published his autobiography, titled Putting the Horse Before Descartes. Dr. Rollin has received numerous national and international awards, including the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Humane Award (2007) and Rocky Mountain Farmers Union Lifetime Achievement Award (2012). He is a founder and board member of Optibrand, an animal identification company utilizing retinal images. Dr. Rollin is also a weightlifter, horseman, and motorcyclist. Dr. Rollin will be presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award on April 1 at 8:25 AM. He will then give a keynote address titled, Beyond Pain: Alleviating Suffering in Laboratory Animals.
