Institutional Animal Care and Use

Protocols with all supporting documentation MUST be received by Dr Edet Isuk, the Sponsored Program and IO liaison in hard copy, AND also be sent electronically to the IACUC Chair, Dr. Ingrid Tullouch ingrid.tullouch@morgan.edu or Mr. Rysheem McGirt rysheem.mcgirt@moran.edu at least two weeks prior to scheduled IACUC committee meetings.

3. One electronic copy of the protocol MUST be submitted for review at least 15 days befor the IACUC meeting
4. All sections of the application MUST be fully completed otherwise this may delay the review of your protocol. If there is a section, which does not apply, please indicate so by "N/A".
5. Section P of the application (Database Literature Search) MUST have all instructions completely followed. Make sure that one original copy of your search results is attached to the original protocol. Also, be specific with your "keywords".
6. All forms and any additional sheets that are attached must be typed.
7. On any additional sheets attached, please make a note stating so on the research form and also note each section on the additional sheets.

If it is your first time using laboratory animals on campus, it is recommended that you consult with the animal facility director or attending veterinarian as you develop your animal care and use protocol.
