The Animal Care and Use Committee (ACUC), the Office for Animal Care & Use (OACU) and the OLAC vet staff, have developed a series of ACUC Pre-Approved Procedures. As procedures are approved by ACUC they will be listed below and they can be copied and pasted into protocols as needed. If researchers deviate from what has been pre-approved, the variation and rationale must be fully explained in the protocol and be approved by ACUC before the modification can be implemented.
