The 2024 LARCC Program will run every Wednesday beginning September 11 through November 13, 2024, from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM at the North Campus Research Complex.
Space is limited, so individuals who are interested in applying are strongly encouraged to complete the brief LARCC application in InfoReady Review to secure their spot.
Applications will be accepted through Friday, August 16, 2024. Please note that Principal Investigator approval is required to participate.
About the LARCC Program
Established in 2019, the 10-week program consists of weekly 4-hour class sessions hosted by leadership and content experts from the Animal Care & Use (ACU) Program as well as other supplementary departments including the Animal Care & Use Office, the Unit for Laboratory Animal Medicine, and Environment, Health & Safety.
Upon Program completion, individuals become certified U-M Laboratory Animal Research Coordinators (LARCs) who can provide guidance, training, and compliance assistance to others in their work area.
Certified LARCs are also invited to collaborate with ACU Program Leadership, the Animal Care & Use Faculty Advocacy Committee, and 75+ Program participants from previous LARCC cohorts on a variety of initiatives to enhance programmatic processes.
