OLAW IACUC Staff Outreach
OLAW IACUC Staff Outreach is a free online seminar series to help Institutional Animal Care and Use (IACUC) staff explore their responsibilities in the oversight of PHS-funded research that involves the use of live vertebrate animals.
Who may attend?
The series is tailored to IACUC staff members but IACUC members, veterinarians, compliance personnel, animal care staff and others involved in PHS-Assured institutions’ animal programs are welcome to attend the seminars.
What hardware and software will I need to attend the seminars?
The seminars will be presented using interactive meeting software licensed to NIH. You will not need to have the meeting software on your computer. To participate, you will need a computer with internet access. The computer must have Flash software installed; most computers do.
How will the seminars work?
About 15 to 30 minutes before the start of the seminar, registered attendees should enter the meeting URL into their computer browser and log in using your email address and password provided following registration. You will be greeted with a welcome slide containing additional information and audio to allow you to adjust your computers volume as needed. The connections are made at no cost to the attendee.
Seminars will include a 20 minute presentation followed by 30 minutes for questions and answers. Participants are encouraged to submit questions and suggestions for future topics by email to OLAW at olaw@od.nih.gov.
How can I register?
A wait list is now open - limited to one registrant group per PHS Assured institution per location.
