Submitting a Research Protocol
Submit your completed IACUC protocol in I-Manager at least two weeks before the next protocol review session.
IACUC members have 5 working days to request either full committee or designated member review. The protocol will be assigned to the next full committee or protocol review (designated member review) meeting date, as appropriate.
Protocols submitted after the submission deadline will be held until the following month. Exceptions must be approved by the IACUC Chair before the deadline.
