REMINDER: Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) ProtocolsDue

By MaryAnn Taylor, January 26, 2021

Protocols for review at the Friday, February 5, 2021 meeting must be received by Wednesday, January 27 at 5pm.

Investigators or instructors planning to use vertebrate animals in research and/or teaching should contact the IACUC prior to the start of such activities to determine whether an IACUC-approved animal protocol is needed.

To submit a protocol for spring 2021 ONLY, please deliver to iacuc@ithaca.edu.

For questions about animal care and use policies, specific reviews, procedures, and all other technical matters, please send an email to iacuc@ithaca.edu Forms and additional information may also be found on the IACUC website: www.ithaca.edu/sponsored-research/institutional-animal-care-and-use-committee-iacuc

If you are conducting research in the lab or other location that includes more than yourself as the PI (e.g., other faculty, students), please provide a listing of lab personnel and also a safety plan for review by the HSAG. This approved safety plan must be attached to your Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocol.

NOTE:  for all three committees, please remember to keep your Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) certification up-to-date.  See:  https://www.ithaca.edu/wpm_preview/site/sponsoredresearch/cititraining/
