Important Announcement!
The Office of Research Compliance and the OHIO IACUC are thrilled to announce the transition from LEO to Cayuse for IACUC protocol submissions. The LEO IACUC Application will be replaced by the Cayuse 'Animal Oversight' module. This new system will streamline the submission process for research involving animal subjects, ensuring a more efficient and user-friendly experience.
We encourage Principal Investigators and key personnel to attend at least one of our virtual training sessions to familiarize themselves with the new system and associated processes. These sessions are designed to be educational and interactive, so please join us to learn more about the transition and Cayuse.
Please follow a registration link below to register for one or more of our training sessions. If you have any questions about the training sessions or how to register, contact compliance@ohio.edu .
