Announcements: Meetings and Deadlines / Around Campus
Meetings and Deadlines
Jan. 24, Feb. 21, March 21, April 25 (if needed)
Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Participants
(IRB)
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/index.html.
Jan. 20, Feb. 17, March 17, April 21 (if needed)
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/index.html.
Proposals should be submitted well in advance—at least
two to three weeks—to be considered at a scheduled meeting
of the IACUC. Federal regulations also require that the University
provide training and education for all individuals working
with laboratory animals. To comply with those regulations, the
IACUC is requiring 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.
Around Campus
Large format scanner
Information Services has recently purchased a large-format,
sheet-fed scanner for use by the University community. Items
may be up to 42” (92 cm) wide, with no limit on their length.
Fragile items can be placed inside plastic sleeves, protecting
them from damage. The scanner is located in the Technology
Learning Center on the third floor of Boatwright Library and
is available by appointment only. Please contact Melissa Foster
(mfoster2@richmond.edu; ext. 8777) for more information.
