Hi everyone,



The UO IACUC has adopted four new policies/guidelines that we hope will streamline some processes and clarify expectations. These include:



  *   Animal Care Facility Photo, Video, and Social Media Guidelines<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/policies/animal-facility-photography>
     *   Provides storage guidelines
     *   Clarifies expectations for permissions
     *   Includes techniques for images and videos
     *   Discusses classroom usage
  *   Visiting Scientists and Visitors Guidelines<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/policies/visiting-scientist-guidelines>
     *   Provides form for visiting scientists <6 months
     *   Provides form for visitors with no animal contact
  *   Guidelines for Pilot Studies<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/policies/pilot-study-guidelines>
     *   Provides form for pilot study results
     *   Includes guidelines and examples for pilot study qualification
  *   Exempt Research Guidelines<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/policies/exempt-research-guidelines> (this includes Zoo research too!)
     *   Includes visual flowchart for determination of exempt status
     *   Provides form for submission to IACUC for review



I would also like to take a moment to introduce our revamped website<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/policies/animal-facility-photography>, which will hopefully make accessing resources easier. From the main page, you can find a variety of helpful links that include the IACUC<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/institutional-animal-care-use-committee> page, which includes the Meeting Schedule<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/iacuc/meeting-schedule>, Protocol Preparation<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/iacuc/protocol-preparation> tips, and Guidelines for Pain and Distress<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/iacuc/guidelines-pain-distress>. On the main page, the Policies<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/policies/animal-facility-photography> are also available, as well as a new Resources<https://research.uoregon.edu/manage/integrity-compliance/animal-research/uo-external-resources> page with a variety of educational items and helpful links. Please feel free to browse and check out the new material, such as the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.jove.com/__;!!C5qS4YX3!GEH2q6GPUJHaIPkxz6XsU_oeut3F1vTDbFBgdovrvvRDrhM9gsCyhSgDxQrXhbHfO70vUwb9BnH6U0s5Lw$>, The Experimental Design Assistant (EDA)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nc3rs.org.uk/our-portfolio/experimental-design-assistant-eda__;!!C5qS4YX3!GEH2q6GPUJHaIPkxz6XsU_oeut3F1vTDbFBgdovrvvRDrhM9gsCyhSgDxQrXhbHfO70vUwb9BnHfSWK8NQ$>, and NC3Rs<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://nc3rs.org.uk/__;!!C5qS4YX3!GEH2q6GPUJHaIPkxz6XsU_oeut3F1vTDbFBgdovrvvRDrhM9gsCyhSgDxQrXhbHfO70vUwb9BnFF4MbLkQ$>.

We’d love to hear about what you’re doing and celebrate your hard work. Additionally, we’d love to hear about your recent accomplishments. We love to see your work!
