Creating a New Animal Use Protocol (AUP)

1. Click the  button to create a new AUP.
    
2. A pop-up window for the Initiate File and Document Wizard will appear.
   
   
3. Click the  button to start the Wizard.
    
4. The next screen will prompt for the “File Properties”.
   
   
5. Enter a short title for the AUP in the text box.
    
   NOTE: The “Title” on this page does not have to be the same full title of your protocol, which you will have a chance to enter on the next screen (General Information Tab). Choose something short, general and meaningful for your File name here.
    
   For 3-year renewals of an existing protocol, please reference the previous protocol number into the title of the file name.
   Example = "1234-5678:  Awesome File Name"
    
6. All versions of your AUP as it moves through the workflow (“Draft”, “For Review”, “Approved”, “For Revision”, etc.) will remain in this file.
   TIP:  Think of the File as a manila folder with several documents inside!
    
   
7. RMS will automatically assign a NEW sequential “Protocol Number” for the AUP.
   
   
8. Click on  to end the Wizard and move to the AUP application.
