We are excited to announce a significant revision of our IRB and IACUC applications will be introduced in early December.

Details regarding how the changeover will occur and what to expect in the new forms will be coming throughout the fall.

We have two exciting new resources that can help you access what you need for your IACUC AUPs.

1.  Your approved documents can now all be found in one place—the document library. To see your documents, open the AUP by using the Master Record option. In the black bar across the top, select “Approved Docs.” The approved versions of your documents should be listed.
2. If you want to reference an existing SOP from a facility to describe your procedures, you can list or link the SOP from the Office of Animal Resources (nearly all facility SOPs are now available). To access, go to the OAR site, and under the University/Attending Veterinarian, select the “Standard Operating Procedures.” Access requires a Clemson login.

This spring ORC engaged external consultants to review the IRB and IACUC office operations. Since then, we have been busy implementing their recommendations. In the fall, we look forward to unveiling updated eForms in InfoEd, new positions, new staff, updated guidance and “how to’s” and a new communications strategy. If you would like an update on our progress at a staff or department meeting, please contact us at orc@clemson.edu. Stay tuned!
