Who Do I Call, IACUC or LAMS?

Because of the close relationship between the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and Laboratory Animal Medical Services (LAMS), paperwork or requests actually intended for one office often end up in the other. For example, protocol submissions that should go directly to the IACUC Office are often sent to LAMS veterinary staff, resulting in delays.

Contact IACUC to:

• submit new or modifie protocols.
• ask questions about IACUC training.
• ask questions related to what is in an approved protocol.
• get information about a grant submission, such as approval dates, registration and assurance numbers.
• report performed procedures not listed in your protocol, or inappropriate activity by others.

Please contact the IACUC Office at IACUC@ucmail.uc.edu.

Contact LAMS to:

• report an animal health issue.
• ask questions about species-specific training.
• ask questions related to the status of an order.
• request housing, surgery or procedure space.
• request special services or equipment.
• determine how many animals are available for you to order on your protocol.
• discuss issues regarding billing.

Please contact LAMS at (513) 558-5171.
