Protocol and Amendment Submission Instructions

Submission deadline is the first business day of the month for committee review during that month. The committee meets the third Thursday of each month.

Annual renewals for species covered by the Animal Welfare Act ("USDA species"*) also are due by the first business day of the month for committee review during that month. Annual renewals for all other species are handled administratively whenever they arrive.
