    How to Track IACUC Protocol Amendments

    Track formal changes to an approved IACUC protocol — a higher animal cap, an added procedure, a personnel change — as dated amendments attached to the protocol. Record each amendment, then apply it to promote the change into the live protocol, giving you a complete audit trail.

    How to Track IACUC Protocol Amendments — full walkthrough
    Full walkthrough — follow the steps below.
    1. Open the protocol

      From the protocol register at /protocol, click a protocol row to open its detail page. The header shows the protocol number and title, with tabs for Overview, Animals, Amendments, Documents, and History.

    2. Open the Amendments tab

      Click the Amendments tab. It lists every recorded amendment in a table — Amendment #, Type, Description, Approved, Effective, Status — alongside a New Amendment button. A protocol with no changes yet shows No amendments recorded.

    3. Record a new amendment

      Click New Amendment. In the Record Amendment dialog, enter an Amendment Number, pick a Type (Modification, Renewal, Personnel Change, Animal Count Change, Species Addition, or Other), and write a Description. Optionally set the Approved and Effective dates and the Previous/New Values, then click Record Amendment. The amendment is logged with status recorded; an Apply action in its row promotes the change into the live protocol once approved.
