There have been recent efforts to reduce the administrative burden imposed on investigators. Although a complete and thorough review of proposed animal studies is an essential function of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), efforts to streamline and clarify this process may help investigators spend less time writing animal use protocols and responding to committee comments. The IACUC relies on well-written protocols for an efficient review process. A well-designed protocol form is also critical in guiding investigators through the process. However, it is ultimately the investigators' responsibility to ensure that the information they provide answers all the IACUC's questions with enough detail and quality for a fast and effective review. This article, aimed primarily for researchers but also IACUC administrators, provides an overview of the IACUC protocol review and approval process, the criteria that the IACUC uses for evaluations, and the type of information that should be included in the various sections of the protocol form. Some specific examples are also provided.

您需要了解的有关满足IACUC协议要求的所有信息。

最近进行了一些努力来减轻施加给调查员的行政负担。尽管对动物研究的建议进行完整而透彻的审查是机构动物护理和使用委员会（IACUC）的一项基本职能，但简化和澄清这一过程的努力可能有助于研究人员减少编写动物使用方案和回应委员会评论的时间。IACUC依靠精心编写的协议来进行有效的审核。精心设计的协议表格对于指导研究人员完成整个过程也至关重要。但是，研究人员有责任确保他们提供的信息能够以足够的细节和质量回答IACUC的所有问题，以便快速有效地进行审查。本文主要针对研究人员以及IACUC管理员，概述了IACUC协议审核和批准过程，IACUC用于评估的标准以及应包含在协议表各个部分中的信息类型。还提供了一些具体示例。
