Overview

Many IACUC administrators, members, and staff struggle with protocol questions and what the IACUC should consider in reviewing protocols. During this webinar, speakers and attendees will work through case studies on protocol review issues and discuss possible ways to handle these complex situations.

Before attending the webinar, attendees should have a sound working knowledge of the IACUC and the regulations that provide guidance. Important to the session are well-versed IACUC administrators who can share their experiences with protocol challenges. Participants will engage in this interactive session by responding to case studies and scenarios using the Zoom polls, chat, QAs and/or raise hand features.

After participating in this webinar, attendees will be able to: 

  • Evaluate various approaches to resolving complex protocol review issues, considering regulatory requirements and ethical implications.
  • Analyze the potential consequences of different actions in response to challenging protocol scenarios.
  • Develop strategies for collaborating effectively with stakeholders (investigators, veterinarians, other IACUC members) to optimize protocol outcomes and enhance animal welfare.
