Announcements 2005-2007

September 21 , 2007: The IACUC is implementing a new online protocol submission system (myIACUC). The purpose of the myIACUC system is to provide a more efficient way to prepare, submit, approve, and track protocols through the IACUC protocol approval process. The IACUC is integrating Investigators into the myIACUC system. We encourage you to do all new or triennial submissions in the new system now. The system will soon be mandatory for all new or triennial submissions starting January 2, 2008. We are also asking all Principal Investigators, study staff, and study coordinators to register in the system as soon as possible. Please go to https://my.iacuc.ufl.edu and log in using your gatorlink username and password. You will be directed to the registration page; please fill in the requested information including your desired roles. This should take about 2-3 minutes to complete. The IACUC will be in contact to let you know when your roles have been accepted and established. The user manual for using the myIACUC system is on the homepage of myIACUC https://my.iacuc.ufl.edu . The IACUC will be providing open training sessions starting in November; please see schedule below. We can also provide further training sessions for individuals, departments, labs, etc. If you have questions please contact Crystal Head at 392-9918.
