Protocol Modifications
It sometimes happens that researchers in the midst of conducting their experiments find they must make changes, large or small, to the planned course of procedures. To amend or modify a protocol you must enter the modification into the HARP system. Once this is all done, the PLI may submit the protocol. Major modifications must go through veterinary pre-review, so researchers must submit these modifications according to the schedule below for new protocols. The submission date is always two and one half weeks before the regularly scheduled monthly AWRC meeting. The Committee may ask researchers for revisions and resubmissions of requested modifications, even if changes seem minor.
Note that some very minor modifications may be done via the Designated Member Review Process
Here is a twelve page HARP manual that you might find useful in navigating around the HARP system.
