Training
Villanova’s IACUC is now utilizing the Cayuse Animal Oversight platform for all animal research protocol applications. In order to make the transition from paper to Cayuse applications as easy as possible for researchers, the Office of Research Protections (ORP) has transferred the current version of the paper protocol into CAYUSE on researchers’ behalf. New researchers that are creating their first protocol should email IACUC@villanova.edu for access to Cayuse.
