Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee
The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) oversees all research involving animals. Prior to the initiation any research efforts involving the use of animals, all UNCG researchers must have IACUC approval. If you have any questions regarding your IACUC application, the best way to contact us is by email at ori@uncg.edu.
IACUC meetings are open to the public and are typically held the first Tuesday of every month. Please contact us at ori@uncg.edu for more information.
IACUC Application
UNCG has implemented an electronic IACUC submission system, Cayuse Animal Oversight.
For helpful resources for navigating the Cayuse Animal Oversight electronic submission system, visit the Cayuse Animal Oversight Resource page.
Protocols will be approved for three-year periods, however we still require denovo reviews (a new application prior to the beginning of the fourth year of work). Any changes to an approved protocol, both major and minor, should be reviewed by the IACUC via an amendment. Amendments can be submitted using Cayuse Animal Oversight.
