Background and Objectives: The use of criteria and ethical frameworks is critical in all research projects. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the ethical considerations in laboratory animal research projects.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 40 research proposals related to laboratory animals in Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences were collected during the years 2018-2021 and then, their compliance with ethical considerations was examined using the monitoring form of laboratory animals. The results were reported as numbers and percentages.
Results: The results indicated that animal welfare was considered in 38 proposals (95%). In addition, animal safety and health considerations, non-surgical and non-invasive interventions, anesthesia and analgesia measures, and surgical and invasive interventions were mentioned in 39 proposals (97.5%).
Conclusion: It seems that more attention to ethical principles is needed in working with animals in research projects.
