Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee (IACUC)
Announcements
The Office of Research Compliance and the OHIO IACUC are thrilled to announce the transition from LEO to Cayuse for IACUC protocol submissions. The LEO IACUC Application will be replaced by the Cayuse 'Animal Oversight' module. This new system will streamline the submission process for research involving animal subjects, ensuring a more efficient and user-friendly experience.
Throughout the initial months of implementing the new system, we will be offering Q&A help sessions to assist researchers in preparing their submissions to the IACUC. These sessions are designed to be educational and interactive. We encourage Principal Investigators and key personnel to participate in these sessions to ensure a smooth and efficient submission process.
Check back here for meeting dates, times, and registration links.
If you have any questions about the training sessions or how to register, contact compliance@ohio.edu.
