Animal Use Protocol Review Schedule
The ACC is currently accepting AUPs on an on-going basis. We aim to have AUPs reviewed and approved in one month. However, this timeline may be longer during the summer.
- All teaching animal use protocols must now go through the pedagogical review (schedule 14) process prior to the AUP deadline.
- All research animal use protocols must go through the scientific merit (schedule 13) review process unless they have received peer review from another CCAC connected body in the current year of application (e.g. NSERC; CFI etc.)
