Procedure for NON-UVA Researchers Only

The University of Virginia's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (UVA IACUC) requires MLBS to collect the material listed below from all non-UVA researchers who wish to use vertebrates in their work.

1. A single copy of vertebrate animal care and use protocol from the PI’s parent institution, and written verification of protocol approval.  Protocol must accurately and completely address all the vertebrate work you wish to conduct at MLBS. 

2. Documentation of training/experience for all animal handlers; list of trainee assignments (“handler,” “trainer,” “class listee,” etc.). This is likely already a part of your protocol.

3. Copies of all applicable permits.

4. Complete the on-line Liability Waiver form (click here or use side-bar button).
