Holiday Curtailment 2025

The IACUP office will be closed to external business from December 22, 2025 through January 2, 2026.  We will reopen on January 5, 2026. Although staff are taking a break and review committees will not meet during this period, the campus community can continue to access web-based systems such as  RIO and LMS. Happy Holidays.

Training Requirements for All Animal Users

UCSF and the UCSF IACUC require all scientists, research technicians, animal technicians, and other personnel involved in animal care, treatment, and use at UCSF to be trained in the usage of animals. In addition, sufficiently detailed information on the experience and training of each individual involved must be included on the IACUC-approved protocol before any hands-on work may be done.
