Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What happens if my current Animal Use Protocol expires before its renewal is approved by the IACUC?
If you believe that your current Animal Use Protocol will expire prior to the approval of your renewal submission, you should contact the IACUC Office at 292-4494 or 292-0409 immediately.
At the time the original Animal Use Protocol expires, all work involving the use of live animals must cease and any animals being kept on the protocol must be transferred to another appropriate and approved IACUC Animal Use Protocol or the “IACUC/ULAR Animal Holding Protocol.”
Work utilizing animals may not resume until the renewal protocol is approved by the IACUC and the animals involved are transferred to an approved IACUC protocol which covers the entirety of the work to be performed.
