 How to Communicate with the IACUC

Dear Research Community,

Below are some guidance information, should you have questions or concerns involving the use of covered animals.

  1. Principle Investigators should send their questions or concerns regarding unit training, animal health, husbandry or facility environment to the Unit Manager of the facility where their animals are housed or used.
    • Contact the Compliance Office for unit manager contacts 
  2. Principle Investigators should send their questions or concerns relating to CITI training, protocol application, approval or modification to the IACUC Office iacuc-office@cpp.edu .
  3. Should Principle Investigators need assistance with training in a procedure or survival surgery involving research animals, they should contact the Attending Veterinarian mlwallace@cpp.edu 
  4. Unit Managers should inform the Attending Veterinarian and the IACUC office ( iacuc-office@cpp.edu , mayah@cpp.edu) of any health related concerns or adverse events.
  5. The Attending Veterinarian will respond to the PI/Unit Managers with the appropriate corrective action with the assistance of the IACUC Office, if needed.

 CITI Training

CITI training is required for all Faculty, Staff and Students who are engaged in animal related activities. Completion of the required modules is necessary before a protocol or an amendment to add personnel can be approved.

Previously, many modules were grouped under “CPP introduction to animal care “101” for investigators (PIs, faculty, students).” In hopes to create a training program that is geared towards the specific needs of PIs and personnel while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. 

Currently, all new PIs will need to complete the modules in the group labeled, “For the Principle Investigator,” as well as a separate group of modules for the specific species that will be used for their research (mice, rabbits, horse, etc.). All added personnel should take “For the Protocol Personnel (Faculty, Staff, Students)” as well as species specific training for the species they will be working with.

Should you have any questions, please contact the Compliance Office at iacuc-office@cpp.edu or call x3713 or x4215
