PIs leaving NC State are responsible for notifying the IACUC Office in advance of their departure date to make arrangements for any current IACUC protocols and animals. All IACUC protocols under a departing PI must be closed, and arrangements must be made for the transfer or disposition of animals under the protocol(s) (prior to closure), or the protocol must be transferred to another PI and approved via RED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a PI departs without making prior arrangements, any animals remaining on a departed PI\u2019s IACUC protocol(s) will be transferred to an approved Holding Protocol and the protocol(s) will be closed within 7 days. Studies may not continue on animals assigned to an IACUC protocol that has been closed. If no prior arrangements were made for the disposition of the animals (export, transfer, or euthanasia), their disposition will be determined by the Attending Veterinarian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All expenses incurred while assigned to the Holding Protocol still remain the responsibility of the original PI or their department.<\/p>\n\n\n
