  14. Protocols and Grant Applications

  15. Comparison: Protocol to Grant • An institution must be able to produce documentation that the IACUC approved the information contained in the grant application • If an institution is using a protocol numbering system, it must be able to link those protocol numbers to grant numbers. It does not have to be a 1:1 ratio

  16. Procedural Matters • Just- in- time allows IACUC approval date to be submitted to NIH anytime prior to grant award • If IACUC review occurs after application is submitted and the IACUC requires modifications related to animal usage, the modifications should be reported to NIH along with the IACUC approval date

  17. How Can We Accomplish this? • Some institutions have Grants Officers compare protocols and grant proposals • Others -- the IACUC Office staff • Others -- the IACUC review both grant requests and protocols together

  18. Compliance Office • Will compare animal care and use protocols with grant proposals

  19. Protocol to Grant Comparison • Single protocol might cover multiple grants • Multiple approved animal protocols might apply to a single grant

  20. FORM 10 • When we receive a Form 10 by e mail attachment or by campus mail • Add title to PI’s listing of projects in e-Sirius under Protocol Number given by PI • Letter if required with new title for Grants Officer
