CPIA Job Analysis Survey

Complete the CPIA Job Analysis Survey!

The CPIA Job Analysis Survey gives those responsible for IACUC administrative functions the opportunity to share how they accomplish their day-to-day work. Survey data will provide a blueprint for the CPIA Council in shaping the content outline of the CPIA exam so it is reflective of current practices, and in realigning the eligibility guidelines to ensure they are inclusive of those who are responsible for IACUC administrative functions.

All those whose primary job responsibilities involve the daily management and oversight of IACUCs (including both CPIAs and noncertified individuals) are encouraged to participate. Please share this survey with your IACUC colleagues to help us ensure all IACUC administrative roles are recognized.

The survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Individual responses will be kept confidential and will be combined with those of other respondents. All participants have the opportunity to enter a raffle to win a new Amazon Kindle. Current CPIAs are also able to request a certificate of attendance for two continuing education credits. 

The deadline to complete the survey is July 12, 2022.
