ACC Fees
Animal Care Committee Review Fee
A fee of $1,000 CAD will be charged for all applications funded by a for-profit entity. This fee covers costs of initial and ongoing reviews of all new applications, regardless of whether the proposed industry-sponsored research project is investigator-initiated or sponsor-initiated. It is applied once for each specific application and covers initial review, annual renewals and minor modifications for the following three years.
- Initial ACC Review: $1,000 CAD
- Full Renewals: $500 CAD after three years, upon submission of a Full Renewal
- Major Modifications involving full review: $500 CAD
- Pilot project: $400 CAD
Initial Review Fee
An initial ACC review fee of $1,000 CAD is required for each new application funded by a for-profit entity (e.g., pharmaceutical/medical device company) or other for-profit organization. This fee is charged regardless of the review's outcome.
There is no charge for applications requiring animal ethical review that are either unfunded, funded internally (including teaching) or funded by grants from federal/provincial granting agencies or charitable or not-for-profit organizations.
Major Modifications
A $500 CAD fee will be charged for all major modifications (after initial approval) involving full review. The ACC may also classify an modification as major based on the level of review required to approve the modification. This modification fee will be charged at the time of each modification review.
Full Renewal
A $500 CAD fee will be charged upon submission of a Full Renewal.
Pilot project
A fee of $400 CAD will be charged for pilot projects funded by a for-profit entity.
Invoicing and Payment
The principal investigator remains responsible for communicating ACC fee requirements to sponsors. To streamline the fee payment process, contract reviewers at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 and Lawson will make efforts to negotiate ACC fees into the study startup fee when negotiating agreements with industry sponsors.
If funds are held at 澳门六合彩开奖预测, Research Finance will invoice the sponsor for startup costs, including the ACC review fee and any additional ACC review costs in subsequent years. Research projects will be debited for the ACC review fee once the related invoice(s) is paid. If funds are held at Lawson, 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Research will invoice Lawson directly for the ACC fee.
The sponsor is expected to pay the ACC fee within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. The ACC retains the right to withhold an Approval Notice until the ACC fee is paid.
