It is hoped that this change will improve service to researchers and enhance the oversight of animal research. Principal Investigators will continue to notice minor changes in reporting requirements and mechanics involved in conducting their research. Database conversion to a new tracking system is underway. Researchers using animals in projects can expect to be contacted to assist in updating data on study personnel and animal laboratory locations.
Researchers can also expect to see minor changes in code numbers for their studies.
