Additional Information & Tips

  • Annual Reviews are due on the anniversary date of when the current protocol cycle was initially approved.
  • Researchers are required to self-report all other animals (not purchased through ULAR) - This includes:
    • Animals produced in UCI breeding colonies
    • Offspring of animals purchased as pregnant dams or dams-with-litter
    • Exotic animals (e.g., reptiles caught in the wild or procured from non-traditional sources)See guidance about Reporting Animal Numbers for Annual Reviews
  • Modifications involving the animals or experimental/procedural changes CANNOT be made when a protocol is in "Annual Review status" - Please complete the Annual Review first, then contact IACUC@uci.edu to request for expedited processing. We will turn it around for you to start a new modification submission.
  • If additional clarifications about the annual review are needed, the PI will be contacted via email.
