The Board of Scientific Affairs' Committee on Animal Research and Ethics (CARE) is charged with safeguarding the ethical use of nonhumans in research and teaching in psychology. The Committee's efforts are aimed at enhancing public understanding of the value of behavioral research with such animals, and enhancing the public's support for behavioral research with animals other than humans. To this end, the Committee regularly reviews the ethics of such research and recommends guidelines for its ethical conduct, disseminates accurate information about research with animals other than humans in psychology, and monitors federal legislation and regulations governing the use of such animals in research.
