Animal Care & Ethics Committee: Guide to Using Forms
The forms must be completed on a word processor for the following reasons:
- In all Animal Care and Ethics Committee (ACEC) research applications and review forms there are questions which require answers that vary in length depending on the individual research project. Consequently the ACEC has not designated a set amount of space for answers to these questions. In addition Tables will require insertion of the appropriate number of lines.
- The ACEC has, in the past, found it difficult to decipher some hand written research application or review forms.
Complete all sections. On completion, application and review forms should be sent to:
| Ingrid Paton Governance Officer Email: ipaton@csu.edu.au Phone: 02 6338 4773 Fax: 02 6338 4194 |
Location Office of Academic Governance Building C1-1 CSU Bathurst Campus |
Postal Address Office of Academic Governance Charles Sturt University Panorama Avenue Bathurst NSW 2795 |
The Executive Officer receipts applications and forwards them onto the Academic Secretariat for inclusion on the next ACEC meeting agenda. The Executive Officer notifies the research applicant of the outcome following the meeting.
