The Animal Care Committee (ACC) aims to meet three times per year to discuss ongoing business and animal use protocols.
The deadline for Teaching or Research Animal Use Protocols is the first Friday of every month other than July and August. - we do not meet during the summer.
Important:
In order for your application to be reviewed at a meeting, your Scientific or Pedagogical merit review must at least be in process while we review your application to use animals for teaching or research. We cannot give ACC approval before the merit review has been completed and there may be changes required to your application that arise from the merit review. Please note this may take several weeks to complete and is out of the ACC's control. It is best to have it submitted well in advance of the animal use protocol and when the semester or research is to begin.
You can learn more about these processes on the pedagogical merit and scientific merit review pages.
