In order to facilitate timely review of all animal applications, please note the following:
SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS FOR REVIEW
All applications require a Pre-Committee Review, except the following:
- Amendment applications to change PI, Co-Investigator, Personnel, Title, Funding, and/or Locations only
- All applications with experiments done entirely at another institution
- All Tissue Sharing applications that do not require live animals
If your protocol requires a Pre-Review based on the criteria listed above, please submit your application for Pre-Review in a timely fashion in order to ensure adequate time for a pre-review prior to submission to the ARC. Every effort is made to pre-review your protocol prior to the deadline, but of course the earlier you submit it, the more likely it will be reviewed and returned to you prior to the ARC submission deadline.
***Please note that submission for Pre-Review is not the same as submission to the ARC. Your application must be pre-reviewed (with all Pre-Review issues addressed in the application) and submitted to the ARC on or before the posted deadline in order to be accepted for review at the next ARC meeting.
For a list of upcoming meeting dates and deadlines, please visit the ARC Meeting and Submission Deadlines page.
If you have any questions, please contact OARO at x66308 or oaro@research.ucla.edu.
