EH&S continuously works with the IACUC, IBC, and Animal Care Services to ensure the safety of staff working in animal research. During the IACUC review process, IACUC staff will document safety-related concerns within the investigator’s protocol and communicate with EH&S as necessary. If you have questions about protocol review comments, please contact the IACUC at iacuc@research.ufl.edu.
