The ARC recently updated the Policy, Review of Significant Changes to Previously Approved Protocols. Updates to the Policy include references to the Formulary for Laboratory Animals (3rd edition) and two ARC Policies, as well as inclusion of an additional change eligible for administrative review (i.e., housing and or use of animals in a location that is already part of the animal program currently overseen by the ARC). The updated Policy is available at the Review of Significant Changes to Previously Approved Protocols web page.
We encourage you to review this Policy with your research team. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 310-206-6308 or arc@research.ucla.edu if you have any questions.
