Animal Transfers

This form is used to transfer animals between protocols and can be submitted by any research personnel, however, all PIs must be aware of the transfer.

Animals can only undergo procedures that are clearly outlined in the approved protocol.

    • You cannot perform procedures that are not allowed on the protocol listed.
    • If the procedure you want to perform is on a different approved protocol, you MUST transfer the animal(s) to the correct protocol using an Animal Transfer Form.
      Example: A breeding protocol to an experimental protocol or between PIs.
    • If 2 PI's share a protocol # document both PI names as: PI protocol #/PI paying. For example: Dr. Rat lets Dr. Mouse perform experiments on his protocol, but Dr. Mouse is responsible for the per diems. The PI name is written as Rat/Mouse Rat = PI whose protocol # the animals are under and Mouse = PI who is paying for the cages. This will ensure the correct PI is billed.
