Protocols involving agricultural animals should be submitted to the Division of Agriculture’s IACUC.

New protocol submissions must be received at least seven calendar days prior to the next scheduled meeting of the IACUC in order to be reviewed at that meeting. Protocol Submissions are due by 2 PM to be considered for the next meeting. Modifications may require review by the IACUC or may be reviewed and approved administratively (e.g. personnel modifications) or through an expedited process (Designated Member Review, DMR). Specific modifications may be approved through Veterinary Verification and Consultation (VVC).

Additional IACUC and CAF forms can be found in the IACUC box folder.

Reporting Animal Welfare Concerns

Any individual who has specific concerns that animals are not being used or treated in a humane and responsible manner by University faculty, staff, or students is encouraged to report such concerns to any member of the IACUC Program Staff (see below). The IACUC Chair, or other members of the IACUC appointed by the Chair, will investigate. If deficiencies are found, the IACUC will take whatever steps are necessary to ensure the safety and welfare of animals, and compliance with federal and state regulations and university policy on the care and use of animals in research, training and teaching activities.
