The Animal Care & Use Program is pleased to announce that this year’s GOLD Day will take place on Friday, May 1.

Now entering its fourth year, GOLD Day provides the U-M research community with a unique opportunity to set aside dedicated time to Go, Organize, Label, and Dispose of drugs, medical materials, surgical supplies, agents, and other substances administered – or used in – ANY animal procedure.

Questions?

To help laboratories structure their GOLD Day activities, the ACU Program has partnered with several cross-campus units to curate a list of resources pertaining to the proper storage, management, and use of drugs and other substances in animal-based research.

  • For questions about using specific drugs, agents, or other substances in animals, contact your ULAM Faculty Veterinarian. If you don’t know your faculty veterinarian, send an inquiry to [email protected] and your question will be routed appropriately.
