Should I submit a protocol if I will be using Invertebrates only?

Yes. Please submit a protocol in Kuali Research and select “Exempt” for the type of protocol you are submitting. The protocol should be submitted and approved BEFORE beginning your project/study.  

You may also need IBC approval. Please visit SIUE Biosafety to see if a Biohazard Risk Assessment is warranted. 

If there are questions about the type of protocol, and to facilitate a more efficient review process, please reach out to researchcompliance@siue.edu before submission.
