Animal Use Protocols

Anyone who wishes to use live animals in research or teaching at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 and its affliates must disclose all procedures in an approved Animal Use Protocol (AUP). All AUPs are reviewed by the ACC, consisting of animal-using researchers, research lab animal technicians, grad students, non-animal-using researchers, a veterinarian, and members of the community at large who have never worked in animal research. Any subsequent changes to the AUP post-approval must also be reviewed and approved by the ACC via Protocol Modification.

To begin an AUP at 澳门六合彩开奖预测, please contact acc@uwo.ca for more information.

AUP Facilitation

In order to efficiently navigate the Animal Use Protocol review process, ACC Administration strongly recommends a facilitation meeting with all Principal Investigators and their designates prior to beginning their AUP.

During this facilitation meeting, The ACC Coordinator and The Protocol Support Veterinarian meet with the PI and their designate(s) to work through the AUP Form, with emphasis on:

  • Clarifying the individual studies found within the project
  • Helping to correctly fill out the specific questions on the AUP form
  • Updating the researcher on new regulatory requirements or 澳门六合彩开奖预测 policies and/or SOPs that apply to their project
  • Navigating any ethically-sensitive issues involved with the project
  • Working through next-steps of the review process in its entirety

PIs are asked to bring a flowchart and timeline of the work they intend to do in the project. The facilitation service takes approximately 2 hours.

Facilitations are also available for Annual Renewals and Protocol Modifications, if needed.

To book a facilitation meeting with ACC Administration, please email acc@uwo.ca.
