Animal Care Committee Approved ACC Policy New Protocol Submissions

Other Policies

Purpose

In order to comply with NIH-PHS government regulations which state that all vertebrate animal procedures described in a PHS grant must be approved by the institutional animal care and use committee, the University of Connecticut Health Center's Animal Care Committee (ACC) has implemented a policy regarding new animal care and use protocol submissions.

Action

1. All animal care and use protocol submissions must be submitted electronically as a Word document to the Office of the Animal Care Committee (ooacc@uchc.edu).
    
2. If the protocol is new (not a 3-year renewal) and will be performed under the auspices of a grant, the grant application must accompany the protocol.

Effective Dates:  April 13, 2006 through April 12, 2009

This policy has been approved by a majority vote of the Animal Care Committee Members
