Notification on Upcoming ACC Changes
Introduction
Changes are coming to the Animal Care Committee protocol system this summer. Please ensure that all research personnel are aware of these updates and review the ACC website for important dates, additional training on the new system and requirements. For questions, contact OACIB@uic.edu.
UIC Research IACUC for the Animal Care Committee (ACC)
The Animal Care Committee will transition to the UIC Research IACUC protocol management system. A website has been created to keep the research community updated on the system. The site also offers short training videos on how to use the system, including submissions, addressing requested revisions, building research teams and procedures and more. Please take a moment to view these videos and familiarize yourself with the system. Additional trainings will be offered this summer.
Protocol Submission Deadlines
The protocol submission deadline calendar has been updated in preparation for the upcoming online system. The ACC will utilize a pre-review system in place of the subcommittee reviews prior to the ACC review. Detailed information will be included in the pre-review of your protocol submission. All protocols will be assigned an OACIB reviewer to assist the PI with the required revisions at each step of the review process.
AALAS Single Sign-On Requirement
In preparation for UIC Research IACUC, the ACC-required trainings that are offered through the AALAS platform now require a single sign-on through each person's NetID/email. Every user will log in to https://aalaslearninglibrary.org/login/signin and use the "sign in through your institution" selection. Detailed instructions are provided on the ACC's Education and Training tab.
