The IACUC coordinator has complete control over the protocol workflow. IACUC's flexibility allows you to perform any of the following actions without any pre-set order:
- return the protocol to unfinished status (only applies to New and De Novo protocols)
- conduct an IACUC review (review by coordinator)
- edit the protocol (only applies to New and De Novo protocols)
- submit the protocol to the veterinarian for a vet review and recommendations
- submit the protocol to the IACUC Chair for review and recommendations
- submit to one or multiple committee members for review and recommendations
- move a protocol to a meeting agenda for discussion
- approve the protocol
IACUC sends an email each time a protocol is submitted.
To open the IACUC workflow, click on the hyperlink found on the protocol number in either the Protocols in Review or Continuations in Review alert.
