A protocol can be renewed twice and be open for a total of three years. After 3 years the original research protocol must be closed and a new application must be submitted if the research has not been completed.
Request for Modification
This form can be used to request a modification(s) to a protocol. The Chair will determine if the request represents a minor or significant modification. A minor modification may entail such things as a change in personnel or changing the route that a drug is administered. A significant modification might be an increase in pain or discomfort or a large change in the number of animals being used. (See the SUNY Potsdam IACUC Policy for additional examples).
