Animal Care Committee

To involve animals in your research at Carleton, you must have an approved Animal Use Protocol.

Animal care protocols, amendments and annual reviews must be submitted at least three weeks before the meeting through cuResearch. See our step-by-step Animal Ethics Review Process.

New Submissions

For first-time applicants or new procedures, researchers are encouraged to meet with the consulting University Veterinarian or provide a draft protocol for review.

Upcoming Review Dates

The ACC may give conditional approval pending compliance with requested changes; final approval will be granted once provisos have been met or at the next scheduled ACC meeting.

The roles and responsibilities of the ACC are further detailed in the ACC Terms of Reference.
