LSU Protocol for Animal Care and Use
The LSU Institutional Animal
Care and Use Committee (IACUC) requests that all principal investigators wishing
to use animals for research and teaching purposes on the LSU campus, or in field
studies use the LSU Protocol for Animal Care and Use form to request use of
these animals.
When does the Animal Care and
Use Protocol need to be reviewed by the IACUC? 1) Funds are currently
available for this project, and there is no associate grant. 2) Funds are
currently available or have been approved for this project, and a copy of the
grant is attached for congruency check. 3) The corresponding grant has been
approved for funding, and a copy of the grant is attached for congruency check.
4) The funding agency requires pre-approval of an animal care and use protocol.
A copy of the grant is attached for congruency check. 5) When the
corresponding grant application is funded. The PI is required to notify IACUC,
and provide a copy of the grant. Please note that the protocol and the
grant must be evaluated by an IACUC representative for congruency before the
protocol can be approved. It is the principal investigator's
responsibility to ensure that the IACUC has a copy of the grant when it is
funded.
The following is also required
for review. 1) Submit proof of approval from the
Inter-institutional Biological and Recombinant DNA Safety Committee (IBRDSC) if
using biological or recombinant DNA. A biosafety precautions door posting
form for the animal room is also
required. 2) If using hazardous chemicals, proof of approval from the
chemical safety manager is required as well. 3) If you are conducting a field
study using exotic or native wildlife, include a copy of your animal permits
with your protocol submission.
