Forms A and B can be used to amend multiple protocols at the same time.
Form C can be used to amend one protocol at a time. If you need to make the same significant change to more than one protocol, please submit separate Form Cs for each protocol.
Please combine multiple significant (experimental) changes into a single Form C amendment when possible, rather than submitting multiple Form Cs for the same protocol.
Submitting multiple Form Cs for the same protocol can cause confusion and create delays. Before submitting a Form C, it may help to ask other members of your lab if they are planning to submit Form C amendments and, if so, to combine the changes into a single form. (It may not make sense to do this in certain cases – e.g., if one change is particularly urgent.)
To help organize a form when it includes multiple, separate changes, the changes can be given a number or letter designation (e.g., Change 1 or Change A) starting in section 2.a. That number/letter designation can then be used in applicable sections throughout the amendment to indicate what information applies to each change.
Please contact the IACUC Office ([email protected]) for guidance on whether to combine separate changes in a single Form C and on how to organize multiple, separate changes in the same form.
