IACUC Meeting Dates, Submission Deadlines, and Review Timeline

The deadline for submission of IACUC new applications, renewal applications, and modification requests is every Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. Submissions are reviewed by the committee during a conference call which is conducted two Mondays after the Wednesday deadline (if PSU is closed that Monday, the call takes place on the first day that PSU opens). Due to the PSU winter closing, conference calls do not typically occur during the week directly proceeding or directly after the winter closing.

IACUC  renewal submissions (for existing, approved protocols) must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the approval expiration date. 

Determination of whether an application must be reviewed during a full committee meeting is made during the conference call, and if the application is deemed as such, it will be reviewed at the next full meeting. Dates of these meetings are listed below.

 The IACUC will consider requests for a shorter review timeline to address unforeseen events or special research opportunities with a written request from the Principal Investigator. However, due to the volume of submissions that the committee reviews on a weekly basis, requests for a shorter review timeline should only be made in exceptional circumstances and can only be granted by the committee on a very limited basis.

If you have questions about meetings, deadlines, and/or review timelines, please contact the ORP at ORP-IACUC@rtto.psu.edu.
