Meeting Schedule and Protocol Due Dates for the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
Completed Protocol Review Forms/Amendments must be received two weeks before the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) meeting date in order to be reviewed at that meeting. Protocols received late will be held until the next scheduled meeting. Assignment to an agenda is not automatic and may vary depending on the completeness of the submission, complexity of the project, how quickly the researcher responds to comments during the pre-review, and attaining quorum at the monthly meeting.
Please use the forms available on the IACUC website, as they will always be the most current version. Older versions of the forms will not be accepted.

Please contact the UMaine IACUC office if you have any questions.
Principal Investigators (PIs) are advised to submit their protocols well in advance of the proposed start date. An exact IACUC approval timeline cannot be provided as it will vary from one submission to another, and may also vary due to periods of high submission volume.
Also, not all amendments and protocols require full committee review; some may be reviewed through a designated member review procedure. Please see Full Committee Review and Designated Member Review Process. Submit the protocol as soon as it is completed, and the IACUC will determine the appropriate review procedure.
