What happens after approval of new protocols?
After the AEC meeting at which your submission was considered, if your protocol has been approved, you will be issued with an Animal Research Authority and approval number from the AWO. If your protocol was considered approvable subject to your complying with certain conditions, you must meet those conditions to the satisfaction of the Chair before your protocol will be approved and an Animal Research Authority and approval number issued to you. If your protocol was not approved you will receive a letter from the AWO outlining the reason(s) behind the AEC decision not to approve your protocol and a request for clarification or amendments.
