Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's)

The Monash Animal Services Animal Ethics Committee (MAS AEC) require an original as well as 12 copies of any forms submitted to the Committee for approval no later than the deadline date for submission (see Key Dates on the MAS AEC web page). This includes all new applications, Standard Operating Procedures, annual and final reports, minor amendments and phenotype reports. Please ensure that all signatures are obtained prior to submission.

SOP's have the advantage of saving both the researcher and the animal ethics committee time by having approved procedures that do not need to be rewritten in future applications, but simply referred to in the application.
