The form will become part of the investigator’s Application to Use Animals Form (AUAF) and can accompany the AUAF, a modification request and/or an annual review or update.
The AUAF, modification request and/or annual update will not be given final IACUC approval until all TDFs for all personnel have been received, reviewed and approved by the IACUC.
