IACUC Submission and Review Process

All applications for the use of live vertebrate animals in research, testing, or teaching must be submitted through the Georgetown IACUC protocol submission system; Cayuse/Esirius.  All submissions (protocols and/or amendments) will undergo a pre-review for completeness by IACUC staff.

No animal work may begin until IACUC approval has been received.

Note: It is the PI’s responsibility to adhere to all deadlines, policies, and regulations and to respond to comments during protocol review in a timely manner. The IACUC review process cannot be expedited or modified per federal regulations. Please plan ahead, submit early, and allow adequate time for processing.
