IACUC Protocol Form Comparison of the eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form March 2015 IACUC Protocol Form • The University of Kentucky IACUC is migrating to a new protocol application and animal management system in March 2015, eSirius3G. • The protocol application has been updated and streamlined • The following slides compare the design and content of the eSirius (old) and 3G (updated) protocol forms Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 2 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Protocol PI Contact Page 3G: Page Removed PI information shown only on the Protocol Personnel page Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 3 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Title, Lay Summary, and Background are separate pages Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 4 IACUC Protocol Application Form 3G: Title, Lay Summary, and Objectives/Aims* are sections (tabs) on the new Protocol Overview page * Formerly Background Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 5 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Private/Commercial Funding Allowed space for only one funding source 3G: Private/Commercial/Foundation Funding Allows multiple funding sources Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 6 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Literature Search Located near the top of the protocol 3G: Databases Searched Moved to the end of the protocol Search for Animal Alternatives group is removed Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 7 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Experimental Design 3G: Methodology* Located on protocol level: describes all species procedures Moved to species level: describes single species procedures ** * Formerly Experimental Design ** For protocols with multiple species, the entire Experimental Design is copied into each Species Methodology page at conversion. PI will resolve redundancy at 3-year rewrite. Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 8 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Species Information page 3G: Species Information page Total number of animals requested question removed. Gender question removed. Identification question reformatted. Animal disposition question displays only if Species Euthanasia = No. Species activities questions moved to the Setup page. Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 9 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Non-Surgical Procedures 3G: Page Removed Non-Surgical Procedures are described in the Species Methodology. Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 10 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Drugs 3G: Page Removed Neuromuscular blocker and nonUSP grade drug questions moved to Species Methodology page. All drugs administered are described in the Species Methodology. Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 11 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Housing Location Request 3G: Housing/Use Locations Pages are combined eSirius: Animal Usage Location Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 12 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Justification for Number Requested and Humane Use Animal Categories pages are separate Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 13 IACUC Protocol Application Form 3G: Justification for Number Requested and Humane Use Animal Categories pages are combined Humane Use Categories / Justification for Number Used New question added: Scientific justification for unalleviated Pain (Level E). Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 14 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Surgery One continuous page 3G: Surgery Divided into sections (tabs): Info, Pre-op, Post-op, and Surgery Locations Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 15 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Adverse Consequences One continuous page 3G: Adverse Consequences Divided into sections (tabs) New Humane Endpoints question Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 16 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Personnel Ugly and slow 3G: Personnel Divided into sections (tabs): Personnel Info, Personnel Activities, and Training Profile Significantly pared down / streamlined Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 17 Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 18 IACUC Protocol Application Form eSirius: Protocol-wide pages/questions condensed and merged… Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 19 IACUC Protocol Application Form 3G: …to the Setup page (new) Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 20 IACUC Protocol Form See the 3G ‘how-to’ videos on the ORI website: http://www.research.uky.edu/ori/univet/training/video.html Comparison of eSirius vs. 3G protocol application form 21
