The Institutional

uses and experimental procedures described in an Animal
Experimentation Protocol (AEP) that is approved
by the Faculty Standing Committee on Animals. All
use of animals at Harvard Medical School must be described
in an application that is submitted to this committee
approval process. Animals may not be purchased or housed
at Harvard without protocol approval from the Standing
Committee.
