Please indicate the status of the above project:

_____ Active, funded project, Acct # ___________

Obtain and complete the entire progress report (3 pages), sign and return it to the IACP Office (see above).

Check this if the project has been funded, even if the animal work has not begun. Answer Sections 2 & 3 to reflect the current activity of the project. (If the animal work has not begun, address the non-animal work that occurred during the past year.)

_____ Funding is Pending. Keep protocol open.

• If there are changes to the original protocol, obtain and complete the entire progress report, sign and return it to the IACP Office (see above).
• If there are no changes to the original protocol, complete SECTION 2, sign and return it to the IACP Office.

Check this if the project has yet to be funded and you would like to keep the project open.

_____ Research activities have been completed. Project is not going to be continued.
           Close the protocol.
            Complete SECTION 2, sign, and return this page to the IACP Office.

Check this if the project has been finished and no additional work will be performed. Complete section 2.

_____ Inactive, never funded. Sign and return this page to the IACP Office.

Check this if the project was not funded and you do not choose to keep the project open, just in case.

SECTION 3.

        1) For each species listed below in 1)c., please provide:

a. a brief, nonscientific, description of what is to be studied in the coming year (the questions/hypotheses being tested, describe in lay terms):

Briefly, state the questions/hypotheses to be examined during the coming year. This should be similar to the information included in the progress reports submitted the funding agency, except in nonscientific terms.

b. a brief explanation of how these studies will be conducted (procedures, experiments, analyses, etc.):

Briefly, describe the procedures to be performed to accomplish the hypotheses listed in 1) a. The specifics concerning these procedures would have been included in the application and do not need to be addressed here. For in vitro work, include the types of analyses to be performed on the tissues collected.

c. a justification for the number of animals, per species, requested for the coming year and complete the animal usage table below:

State the number of animals that will be needed to perform the procedures mentioned in 1)b. and explain how that number was determined. Include a description of experimental groups, how the number of animals was determined (i.e. 10 million cells are needed to yield statistically significant data for analysis "A", each animal provides 2 million cells of tissue, therefore 5 animals will be needed.)

Animal Usage

The purpose of this section to illustrate the number of animals that where initially requested for the duration of the project, those that have been and will be used, as well as, the number of animals remaining on the project. This information should be supplied for each species included in the project.

1. 2. 3. 4.

 *Address any increases to the total number approved for the project on P.3, Sec. 2, Question 3.

d. Have there been changes made to: Procedures ____, Anesthesia ____, Surgery ____, Method of Euthanasia ____, other _____? If so, please explain.

Describe any changes to the project in complete detail, supplying the same information that is requested in the full application.

4) Names of personnel, including principal investigator(s), working on this project:

List all of the individuals that will be working with the animals.

5) Location(s) where animal procedures will be performed:

Indicate the room numbers for the locations where the animal procedures will be performed.

6) Does the proposed study unnecessarily duplicate previous experiments? Yes___ No___ Please justify your answer below with a written explanation, including any databases that were searched, the date range searched and keywords used. [USDA requirement: 9 CFR Part 2, Subpart C - 2.31(d)(1)(iii), pub. 8/31/89.]

Answer this question, including the most recent database searches conducted. For class B1 - D animals include the keywords used, years searched and date the search was conducted.
