IACUC Protocol Review Process
Protocols approved under the USDA Animal Welfare Act will expire after one year. To continue work under a USDA protocol after one year, a protocol must be renewed and follow the same processes as a new protocol.
Protocols approved under PHS Policy will expire after three years. Each year that the protocol is active, an annual review form must be submitted. To continue work under a PHS protocol after three years, a protocol must be renewed and follow the same processes as a new protocol.
All changes or amendments to either a USDA or a PHS protocol must be submitted to iacuc-admin@oswego.edu for review prior to being implemented.
Below is the " PHS Annual Review Form" and the "Protocol Amendment Form."
Beginning Fall 2017, it is imperative that all individuals who will be working with animals complete the appropriate CITI Training modules.
To access all training modules, a CITI account is required. Please follow this guidance document to create an account and register for all necessary courses.
