Greetings Colleagues,

The Grants Oversight and New Efficiency act (GONE Act) requires all federal agencies to report their outstanding closeouts to Congress by December 31, 2017.

For the 30 oldest grants in an agency's portfolio, they must also explain in detail why they have not been closed out.   This is why you may have received delinquency notices from agencies for grants that ended as far back as 2012.

Office of Animal Welfare - Review and Sponsored Programs

Member for

Submitted by nclark14 on

Dear Colleagues,

Effective 8/10/17, the Office of Animal Welfare (OAW) has eliminated the review of:

  • Non-competing renewals
  • Non-competing supplements
  • Non-competing revisions

This does not change the requirement that all animal use activity must be reviewed and approved by the University’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).  As has always been the case, before sponsored program funding is accepted by the University, proposed animal use activity must be reviewed by OAW and deemed congruent with IACUC protocol(s).
