Researchers must have non-expired CITI certificates for both the Animal Subjects Research Course and the Common Course. This includes faculty members supervising student theses requiring IACUC approval and members of the IACUC Committee. Approved projects are valid until two years from the September 30 after approval. (For example, a project approved on either November 5, 2021 or April 15, 2022 is valid until September 30, 2024). For projects extending beyond the expiration date, request renewals using the standard IACUC application form. Principal investigators will be notified approximately one month prior to approval expiration. If a researcher is not aware of their protocol's expiration date, contact IACUCFREEMississippi.
