Protocols listing hazardous chemicals and that require additional Chemical Safety review are also taking longer than normal to process due to staff shortages within EH&S. If you need to request expedited review please contact the IACUC office at iacuc-staff@ucdavis.edu and provide written justification for the request. Thank you for your understanding.
