Protocol Entry Resources

We recommend that new Principal Investigators (PIs) writing their first protocol and laboratory members assigned as a PI Proxy or Lab Editor to edit existing protocols schedule a training session on the use of the electronic protocol system, eIACUC.

To help us better serve you, we ask that you please complete the eIACUC Training & Assistance Request Form in order to receive one or more of the following services:

  • Training on the eIACUC system, or assistance in making changes within eIACUC
  • Assistance responding to reviewers on a submitted protocol or amendment
  • Design and/or creation of a new protocol on behalf of the laboratory
  • Assistance with cleanup of the substance/procedure libraries in eIACUC
  • Training on the Sub-K portal

If you have questions, please contact acuc@northwestern.edu.
