January 3, 2020
RPO has successfully gone live with the ¶¶Òõ̽̽Click-IACUC electronic protocol submission software. Click to go to the new system and preview the screens.
Transition of Protocols
As previously communicated, we have a transitional support team that will be reaching out to each of you to offer assistance with entering your projects. The timeline to contact you is related to when your first protocol expires. For instance, investigators whose protocols expire in January 2020 have already met with the team, but we have not reached out to any PI whose protocols do not expire until June 2020.
As a reminder, this is not the time to make changes to your protocols. The IACUC should be able to compare the new ¶¶Òõ̽̽Click-IACUC protocol to the existing InfoEd protocol. Making changes during the transition may result in delayed approvals and potentially expiration of protocols. Amendments may be submitted post approval in the Click system.
EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS PIs Sho Wish to Submit Protocols Without Transition Team Assistance
It is not required that you wait for the transitional support team to contact you. You may submit independent of the team. If that is your intent, we recommend that you attend one our educational sessions (details below) so that we may answer any questions you may have. Additionally, we have developed multiple user guides for the various types of submissions.
EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS ¶¶Òõ̽̽Click – IACUC Educational Sessions
We currently have educational sessions scheduled through the month of January. It is strongly recommended that anyone responsible for submitting protocols attend one of these sessions. This will help you become familiar with the new system and give you an opportunity to ask any questions that you may have. For your convenience, sessions will take place in one of the HSRF conference rooms.

Just-in-Time or Other Urgent Situations
Investigators continue to have approval of their current protocols in InfoEd until the protocols expire. You will continue to have read access of those protocols in the InfoEd system. If you have a just-in-time or other urgent protocol matter, please contact the IACUC office or speak with Abbey Dattilio or Aubrie Clas to discuss how to best manage those situations.
New IACUC Policy and Procedures Manual
We have completely rewritten and reorganized the IACUC Policy and Procedures manual to address recent policy updates reducing regulatory burden as well as the changes required because of the new ¶¶Òõ̽̽Click-IACUC system. Access the manual at /rpo/iacuc-policies-and-procedures.
