Post Approval Monitoring program at West Virginia University

The Office of Research Integrity and Compliance (ORIC), in partnership with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), has developed a Post Approval Monitoring (PAM) program to assist all research staff working with animals at WVU. The purpose of the PAM program is to work with the research community to ensure quality animal work and the well- being of staff and subjects alike, in a supportive and collegial manner.

Non-Pharmaceutical Grade Substances Used in Animals v.3, Rodent Survival Surgery Policy v.3, and Tumor Development Endpoints for Euthanasia in Rodents policy/guidelines have been updated and approved by the IACUC. Please review new documents prior to submission of protocols or initiating studies.

You can request a short-term login for a WVU-sponsored guest to gain WVU+kc access to complete or view an IRB protocol.

The process has changed--if you need a login account, please complete the Login Account Request for Visitors, Guests, Consultants, and Other Non-Employees. Instructions are posted on the request page:
