If the individual(s) you are adding to your project personnel do not have training and/or experience, please provide a description of the training they will receive and who will provide that training.

Please remember that new project personnel are not authorized to work with animals until all of the above steps have been completed AND you have received notification from the IACUC office that the amendment to add the individual(s) to the protocol has been approved.
