Cayuse in IACUC and IBC
The Review Process in Cayuse
New and De Novo Review protocols entered into Cayuse will undergo the same thorough review by the appropriate committee (IACUC or IBC) as they did with paper protocols.
For amendments, continuing reviews, and changes requested by the IACUC or IBC offices, relevant sections must be modified/completed in the Cayuse platform—changes will be reviewed by the appropriate committee after submission by the Principal Investigator.
Submission Checklist
To ensure a smooth and efficient review process, please make sure to:
- Complete All Required Fields: Fill in every mandatory section in Cayuse.
- Upload Supporting Documents: Include relevant documents, such as standard operating procedures and safety forms.
- Ensure Personnel Compliance: Verify that all personnel listed are up to date on training and risk assessments.
Clear and complete submissions help streamline the review process and minimize potential delays.
