I have animals on one protocol, but they need to be used on a different one. What do I do?

Submit either a Transfer of Animal Ownership for Non-USDA or Transfer of Animal Ownership for USDA Regulated Species for ACS Veterinary review. Login to your myACS account. Go to the Forms Section, View Forms, select the appropriate link. Fill out the form and submit it.  The form will be sent to the ACS Front Office, and they will distribute for approval.

My protocol has had a modification to increase animal numbers approved and this change doesn’t show up in CARES?

Approved changes to protocols in goIACUC today, will show up in CARES the next morning.  If your modification has been approved for 24 hrs. and you do not see the change, please contact the ACS Front Office at ACS-Office@acs.ufl.edu or 352-273-9230.

My protocol just got approved and I don’t see it in CARES. How does it get added in?

Protocols approved in goIACUC today, will show up in CARES the next morning.  If your protocol has been approved for 24 hrs. and you do not see it in CARES, please contact the ACS Front Office at ACS-Office@acs.ufl.edu or 352-273-9230.

When do animals get deducted from the protocol?

At the time cage cards are made for new orders, weaning of rodents and protocol transfers.
