Listing Awards for New Protocol Application

When applying for a new IACUC protocol application, all active funding involving animal work that needs to be linked to the protocol must be listed in the funding section of the protocol application.  (New faculty members:  Please see the additional note at the bottom of this page.)

Incl​ude:

  • All active funding that should be linked to the protocol, including any supplements associated with the award.  Please include internally funded pilot projects and fellowship grants.
  • Any new funding that is in JIT and has a fundable score.
  • Any funding that is expected to be funded within the next few months from the protocol submission deadline date.

Do NOT Include:

  • A proposal that was not funded.
  • An award that expires prior to the protocol submission deadline date.
  • A pending award that has not yet been reviewed by the sponsor or does not have a fundable score.
  • Any intramural funding (i.e. departmental funds).

Intramural Funding

  • If your protocol is funded ONLY by intramural funding and/or does not include a peer-reviewed funding source, please supply your department’s chair’s signature in the appropriate section of the protocol application (typically Section 20 for full protocol applications). However, please list all extramural funding in the extramural funding table even if it is not peer-reviewed. 

Please refer to the funding section of the protocol application for additional information.  If you are unsure of what to include, please contact DoRC at dorc@yale.edu for assistance.

Timing

  • When applying for a new protocol to cover work on a submitted proposal, please keep in mind that protocol approval is dependent upon full IACUC committee review and can take some time. Please submit a new protocol application as early as possible and at least 60 days prior to the award start date.  
  • If you are a new Faculty member, please include all funding that you want associated with the protocol even if the award has not yet been transferred to Yale.  Note that for NIH awards involving animal work, NIH is now requiring IACUC protocol approval from your new institution BEFORE allowing a transfer of funds.  Therefore, it is recommended that an IACUC protocol application be submitted as soon as possible. In addition, please send an electronic copy of all funded proposals and progress reports involving animal work to dorc@yale.edu for review since we cannot access these documents prior to your arrival.
