Submission of External Protocols

When animal work outlined in your protocol is being conducted at another institution the following information must be provided for IACUC review and acceptance:

(1) a copy of the participating institution’s approved protocol;

(2) a copy of the institution’s approval letter; and

(3) a copy of the institution’s Public Health Service (PHS) assurance number, if PHS funded.

Once received and reviewed, if acceptable, the IACUC will issue a letter of acceptance of the external institution’s oversight.  The expiration date will coincide with the participating institution’s protocol’s expiration date.  Continuing Reviews are required annually on all protocols utilizing USDA regulated animals.
