IACUC Chair: Dr. Barbara Ballentine, Biology
IACUC Membership
The IACUC meets monthly during Fall and Spring semesters, as needed. Protocols must be received at least 2 weeks in advance to be considered at the next meeting. However, not all protocols will require full IACUC review; many low-risk projects can be reviewed and approved outside of committee by the IACUC Chair. Whether a project requires full committee review will be determined by the IACUC upon receipt of the protocol.
Please note: the IACUC does not hold meetings during the summer. Please plan your protocol submissions accordingly.
Spring 2025 IACUC Meetings:
| Meeting Date | Deadline to Submit for Full IACUC Review |
|---|---|
| February 4th | January 21st |
| March 4th | February 18th |
| April 1st | March 18th |
