The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) reports directly to the Institutional Official for the University in the Office of Research and Innovation.
This committee evaluates, reviews, approves or disapproves activities involving the use of live vertebrate animals at North Carolina State University. All animal use, for the purposes of research or teaching performed by University faculty, students or staff, on and off campus, is subject to IACUC evaluation and review. The IACUC monitors all approved animal use activities for compliance with University policies and federal regulations and guidelines. The IACUC consists of a Chair, a member from the general public, a member who is not a scientist, a veterinarian experienced and knowledgeable with regard to laboratory animal research, and a variable number of faculty members with different scientific specialties. IACUC members are appointed by the Institutional Official. The authority and responsibilities of the IACUC are mandated by federal regulation and policy.
In addition to reviewing all animal care and use and approving or withholding approval of animal activities on a case-by-case basis, the IACUC monitors approved animal use through inspection of all animal use areas at least twice per year.

It is a central body overseeing animal use and distribution of information regarding animal use to all University departments.
