AAALAC Accreditation Visit Completed

KUMC's every three-year accreditation on-site visit by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) was conducted on June 11 and 12.  The official results of the review will be sent to us in the fall after the AAALAC Council has reviewed the report from the accreditation team. 
 
Thank you to the many members of the University who participated in discussions and demonstrations with the reviewers.  Numerous investigators and their research staff, IACUC members and the LAR staff represented the University well in their interactions with the review team. 
 
The official results of the accreditation visit will be announced when they are received.

New IACUC Email Address:

Effective immediately, please forward all official IACUC e-mail to the new IACUC mailbox (IACUC@kumc.edu). This mail box will be used for all official e-mail correspondence to and from the committee.  This change will enable ARPP staff to access and reply to requests for assistance in a timely and efficient manner.

Data and Safety Monitoring Resources

Revised SOPs for the KUMC Data and Safety Monitoring Executive Committee (DSM-EC) can be found at http://www2.kumc.edu/researchcompliance/doc/DSMB_SOPS.pdf .
These are helpful for an investigator designing a research protocol that may require an independent DSMB.

Also available is a template for developing a Data and Safety Monitoring Plan.  Although primarily designed for use for the DSM-EC, it can be used as a step by step process to design plans for various levels of monitoring, not just a plan requiring a DSMB.  Click here for more information.
