Before you begin working on your project submission, please contact Tyler Ridgeway, the IACUC Administrator, to schedule an introductory meeting. His goal is to meet with every new investigator to help make the approval process simple and efficient, and to show the level of communication and collaboration that the IACUC Office has with the researchers at DU.
Every new Principal Investigator and their staff will need to complete the required CITI Program training as well as Environmental Health and Safety training. These requirements can be found on the Training Requirements page.
New Principal Investigators and their staff will also need to enroll in Occupational Health Program by submitting the Occupational Health Review Form via email ochealthforms@du.edu (Include "DU Confidential" as the subject line) or through campus mail to the DU Environmental Health and Safety Office (EH&S) at 2601 E Colorado Ave., 2nd Floor. Your information will be faxed securely to the Occupational Physician at Concentra for review.
The final step will then be to register in IRBNet to submit the submission forms for your research project. For instructions on how to register and for other helpful "How-To" guidance, visit the Submission & Monitoring page.
All individuals housing and working with animals in the Vivarium will need to obtain access from the Vivarium Director. The Vivarium Director and/or Vivarium Manager will provide an orientation covering the policies and procedures of the Vivarium and upon completion of the orientation, card access will be granted.
