IACUC Administration/Management and Process

C19 - [IN-PERSON ONLY] Review Cycles for Documents (SOPs, Protocols, Policies): How Best to Schedule

Monday, December 4, 2023
3:45 PM – 4:45 PM ET
Location: Room 152A
IACUC/Animal Care and Use Learning Lab Series
This session is being held in-person only at PRIMR23. It will not be recorded for on-demand access or for the PRIMR23/SBER23 Virtual Meeting.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and policies can improve compliance, enhance standardization, and improve the quality of animal care and use programs and scientific activities, but can add to burden to IACUC review and version control when SOPs, policies, and protocols are revised. This session will consider how to optimize the use of SOPs, policies, and protocols to minimize burden and improve research quality, and how to schedule review so that documents are updated, but on a staggered schedule so as to eliminate burden.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss methods to optimize the review schedule while minimizing administrative burden, and assess methods to maintain version control in protocols
  • Analyze how judicious use of SOPs can improve research reproducibility, consistency of practices, prevent noncompliance, and enhance training
  • Consider how SOPs compliment succession planning and continuity for the animal care and use program
