Interpreting the Report:

The report displays the following information for each AUA in the state(s) that were selected (i.e. Approved, Terminated, Expired):

• PI Last Name
• PI First Name
• Department = PI’s department
• Division = PI’s division within the department
• AUA ID = AUA ID #, e.g. AUA00000001
• AUA Title = Title of the AUA
• Status = State of the AUA (i.e.  Approved, Expired, or Terminated)
• Species = animal species of that AUA
• AUA Initial Approval Date = date that the AUA was approved for the first time
• AUA Current Approval Date = date that should be listed on grant applications
  • For non-USDA-regulated species (e.g. mice, rats, fish), the current approval date is either the initial IACUC approval date OR the most recent 3-year de novo IACUC approval date, whichever is more recent.
  • For USDA-regulated species, the current approval date is the initial IACUC approval date OR the most recent 3-year de novo IACUC approval date OR the most recent IACUC Annual Renewal approval date, whichever is most recent.
• Next Annual Renewal Date = the date by which the next Annual Renewal must be approved by the IACUC. Annual Renewals should be submitted approximately 30 days before this date in order to have the best chance of being approved in time to prevent expiration.
• AUA 3 Yr Renewal Date (Proposed) = the estimated date by which the next 3 Year de novo Renewal should be approved by the IACUC. This date may or may not change in Year 3, and will be replaced with the AUA 3Yr Renewal Date (Actual) in the third year of the renewal cycle.
• AUA 3 Yr Renewal Date (Actual) = the date by which the next 3 Year de novo Renewal must be approved by the IACUC in order to prevent the AUA from expiring.  (Once expired, the AUA cannot be reinstated; instead, a new AUA must be submitted and undergo a complete review in order to receive IACUC approval. Should that happen, all research must stop until the new approval is granted.)  3 Year de novo Renewals should be submitted at least 60 days before this date in order to have the best chance of the being approved in time to prevent expiration.
• Funding Proposal ID* = ID number of a Funding Proposal which is linked to the AUA; displays in Section B2.0 of the AUA
