If you have an animal related emergency, please contact Campus Veterinary Services at 530-219-3076. If you have an urgent protocol or amendment concern that potentially impacts animal welfare, please contact our office at 752-2364, to speak to a specialist or leave a voice mail message and/or send an email message to the IACUC staff at iacuc-staff@ucdavis.edu.
Protocols listing hazardous chemicals and that require additional Chemical Safety review are 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.
