Conflict of Interest Program

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee
NOTICE:
DRAFT application(s) (ACORP or USF) that will use VA resources (VA personnel, VA facilities,
VA funding) should also be submitted to the VA R&D Committee at the same time the
DRAFT application is submitted for veterinary pre-review.
University of South Florida's (USF) faculty and staff can now submit their Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocols electronically, allowing the transition from a paper submission process to a simpler, more efficient electronic IACUC (eIACUC) submission. This can now be submitted electronically through the Applications for Research Compliance (ARC) platform. Access the ARC portal.
