It is important that this new policy is adhered to in order to ensure adequate time for review and obtain signatures for UCAR and the Vivarium. Animal Care and Use Forms must be submitted prior to submission of a grant or when the grant is dropped off at the UCAR Office for sign-off.
Many faculty members submit grants to multiple funding agencies.
IF an animal protocol has already been approved, and a grant is being submitted to an additional funding agency, it may be possible to use the previous approval date. The PI must also submit an updated copy of the form that contains the New title, type of UCAR approval, and funding agency. P.M. Exceptions are posted on the door, if necessary. The location of the Office is G-6708. The principal investigator must notify the UCAR Office when a protocol is activated.
