How often do I have to file a new Animal Protocol Application for IACUC review?
Protocols are approved for a period of three years BUT this is contingent upon the PI filing Annual Renewal applications in a timely manner. Two annual renewals are allowed (using the short form) unless significant changes are proposed. Before the end of the third year, you must submit a new Animal Protocol Application (using new forms if such are available since your last submission) if you wish to continue the project. The IACUC office will send you email reminders well in advance of expiration dates.
