Announcements: Meetings and Deadlines
Nov. 11
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
1 p.m., Dean’s Conference Room
Boatwright Administrative Wing, Room 4
All faculty contemplating research on animals are reminded
that the federal government requires that such research be
cleared by the University IACUC. Applications for proposals
are available at oncampus.richmond.edu/academics/grad_a&s/forms/.
Proposals should be submitted well in advance—at least
two to three weeks—to be considered at a scheduled meeting
of IACUC. Federal regulations also require that the University
provide training and education for all individuals working with
laboratory animals. To comply with those regulations, IACUC
requires that all individuals—faculty, staff, lab assistants, and
undergraduate and graduate students—working with laboratory
animals view the film Animal Care Matters before beginning
work. Copies of the film are available in the biology and
psychology departments, the Media Resource Center and the
Graduate School office.
Dec. 6
(date change)
Institutional Review Board
12:45 p.m., Dean’s Conference Room
Boatwright Administrative Wing, Room 4
Please remember that research involving human subjects may
not begin before approval is received. Though some applications
can be processed quickly through expedited review,
others must be considered by the entire committee at the next
scheduled meeting. To avoid delay, please submit your application
to the IRB well in advance—at least two to three weeks—
of the planned starting date for your research. Applications are
available online at oncampus.richmond.edu/academics/grad_a&s/forms/. |
