IACUC Schedule

Spring Semester 2025-26

Full Committee Review (FCR) Process:

Meeting Schedule: IACUC meetings are held once a month. Submissions must be received by the submission deadline (i.e. two business weeks before the convened meeting) to be reviewed at the upcoming meeting.

1. Pre-Review: The IACUC conducts a pre-review of the submission. Comments and feedback are compiled during this pre-review. This step in the process takes one business week.
2. Feedback to PI: The compiled comments and feedback are sent back to the PI. The PI (or members of the PI group) revises the submission or provides necessary clarifications. The PI or PI Group has one business week to integrate the committee's feedback.

3. Resubmission: The PI or PI Group ensures the revised submission is sent back to the IACUC in time for the scheduled meeting. If the PI Group submits on behalf of the PI, the PI will need to certify the submission. 

   
   IACUC Meeting Outcomes:

4. Full Committee Review: The IACUC reviews the revised submission during the meeting. Possible outcomes of the meeting include:
   - Approval: The submission is approved as is.
   - Withhold Approval: The submission is not approved.
   - Require Modifications to Secure Approval: The submission requires further modifications before it can be approved. If your submission required modification to secure approval, please budget for an additional three business days in your review timeline.

   Multiple Rounds of Revision: If modifications are required, the PI revises the submission again and resubmits it. This process may repeat multiple times until the submission meets the IACUC's requirements.
