Overview All eResearch Animal Management protocols are required to include at least one animal handler. Details about species, several procedures and hazardous materials with which the personnel will work also must be entered. This information is needed to facilitate training by the Unit for Laboratory Animal Medicine Training Core. Animal handling details are entered from the Protocol workspace. All personnel, locations and species must be entered on the application before the animal handler details can be entered.
On 9/28/2015, eRAM introduced a new method for entering Animal Handling Details. However, this method is still being refined and is currently not recommended for protocols with large numbers of personnel/species, as this may cause the system to time-out. If you have a protocol with large numbers of Animal Handlers/Species, we recommend using the original method as outlined in this document. Both the original and new methods will remain available to all users as we continue to update the system.
