Animal Study
Proposal
|
INTRODUCTION
This sample Animal Study Proposal is provided in response
to requests from many institutions that wish to develop or revise
an animal care and use protocol form intended for internal institutional
use. It is based on a form used by intramural NIH investigators,
and was modified as the result of review of many different extramural
institutional forms in order to anticipate a variety of research
scenarios.
USE OF THIS SAMPLE ANIMAL STUDY PROPOSAL IS NOT REQUIRED.
It is offered as a guideline or template. Institutions may download
the form in any of the word processing formats provided below
and modify the content of the form to suit their own institutional
program and needs.
Most institutions have instituted an animal care and use protocol
form that investigators are internally required to complete and
submit to the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. There
is great variation in the length, format, content, and use of
these forms, and a form that serves one institution well may
not necessarily prove successful at another institution. However,
in general, many IACUCs have found that use of a protocol form
helps research investigators to delineate the information that
the IACUC requires in order to review a proposal, and also helps
the IACUC to achieve greater consistency in its review. Many
of these forms are available from institutional websites.
We are interested in your comments on the content of this
sample animal study proposal and in your suggestions for additions,
deletions, or revisions. We anticipate changes to this document
as institutional comments are received and as animal research
and the policies that govern it evolve. Comments should be sent
to: OLAW@od.nih.gov.
