As UTMB prepares for our 2026 AAALAC site visit, we encourage all research personnel to review the materials relevant to their role. A clear understanding of AAALAC expectations helps ensure that our daily practices, documentation, and communication reflect the high standards of animal care and use that UTMB is committed to upholding. Engaging with these resources now will support a smooth and successful site visit, promote consistency across the program, and highlight the collective effort that contributes to maintaining our accreditation and demonstrating excellence in animal welfare.
