Use of Davis Animal Facilities by Faculty of Other Institutions
Purpose
On occasion, individuals from other research institutions wish to conduct studies at the University of California, Davis. These institutions may be other UC campuses, universities, governmental agencies, or private corporations. The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is responsible for the proper conduct of all research and teaching activities using animals at UC Davis, regardless of the source of funding of the project.
Procedure
- If an outside research entity, public or private, wishes to make use of UC Davis facilities, they must establish a working relationship with a Davis investigator who sponsors the project for them. The UC Davis faculty/staff member serves as principal investigator for purposes of the Protocol for Animal Care and Use. The UC Davis investigator must assume the responsibility for appropriate supervision of the project, training of project staff, and must serve as the primary contact for the IACUC and for the Office of the Attending Veterinarian. The UC Davis investigator must have appropriate supervisory authority to oversee the conduct of the project at UC Davis.
- If a UC Davis investigator cannot be arranged, the IACUC may be contacted to provide assistance in facilitating an effective working relationship.
- Exceptions to the UC Davis sponsor relationship may be granted following a written request with explanation by the other research institution, and subsequent approval by the UC Davis IACUC.
- IACUC documentation from the non-UC Davis collaborating investigator may be requested.
