Announcements: Meetings and Deadlines
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/.
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.
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/.
