Compliance, Records, Safety and Training
The Compliance, Records, Safety and Training (CRST) Unit consists of four collaborative components that create a center-wide atmosphere of safety and compliance. This is done through assuring safe, humane, and compliant practices in the care and use of nonhuman primates (NHP) and safe laboratory practices at the WNPRC. The team consistently works with other WNPRC Units, investigators, and various departments across campus to meet training, research, colony management, and operational needs.
