How long does IACUC approval take?

For how long will my work be approved?

IACUC approval is granted for up to a one-year period. If the use of animals is to continue beyond this date, submission of an IACUC Renewal Approval Request form can be used to request expedited review for a further one-year approval period, up to a maximum of three years. Investigators are expected to submit the renewal request before their approval period has expired. After three years of continued project approval, a project may be continued only after a new animal protocol is submitted for full review and approved.

What should I do if I have questions about the IACUC or the required forms?
