Protocol Synopsis Forms, when submitted to the IACUC by the submission deadline will be reviewed during that month.
Following a pre–review meeting mid–month, the committee will send a list of questions/stipulations to be addressed by the PI. The PI has approximately one week to address these questions/stipulations before the full committee meeting.
If all questions and stipulations are answered to the committee’s satisfaction, committee approval will be granted, notification of external agencies will take place, and animal work can begin.
