As part of ongoing efforts to relieve administrative burden on study teams, the Animal Care & Use Office has been working with ULAM Faculty Veterinarians to improve animal use protocols in the eResearch Animal Management (eRAM) system.
Recently, the team has:
Removed 36 questions
Re-worded and simplified 46 questions
Combined 3 existing questions
Moved 9 questions within the protocol to be more consistent
This is the first in a series of three phases aimed at making protocol submissions less dense and easier to complete. A full list of eRAM updates, including a link to the Protocol Updates page, can be reviewed via eRAM’s Bi-Weekly Release Notes.
Questions or concerns about these updates should be directed to the Animal Care & Use Office at acuoffice@umich.edu or (734) 763-8028.
