Overview
Amendments are created for approved protocols when any part of the protocol requires a change. Scientific and PI Amendments will have a "coversheet" in the form of an AME Summary. An amendment summary will describe what is changing and why to provide content for future reports and guidance to the Reviewers.

The Amendment workspace is the home page for amendments to protocols. From the workspace you can view amendment details and current state, edit the amendment, review the amendment, and complete necessary activities.

Overview
A new Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee (IACUC) protocol application and submission form – commonly referred to as “V2” – is available in eRAM for select users. The form was evaluated, redesigned, and fine-tuned with the primary goal of minimizing the time and effort required of researchers and project teams to complete the form. Adoption of the new form will occur in stages throughout 2023.

The Animal Treatment Record (ATR) workspace is the summary page for tracking animal treatment records, some other animal events and information. From the ATR workspace, you can complete various actions on the ATR itself, as well as other animal events, as needed.

All forms related to the ordering, shipping and receiving of animals are completed and submitted electronically within the eResearch Animal Management (eRAM) system. The forms are attached to approved protocols.
This document provides an overview of the types of animal use forms within the eRAM system. For detailed steps on completing each form, see the Create an Animal Use Form – Step-by-Step Procedure.

This document details the process used by ATR/EMR Staff with an ATR Veterinary role or EMR Training Core role to resolve a Clinical Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in eRAM. A Clinical record can be closed when a USDA species with an assigned Clinical # is no longer in ULAM’s care (e.g., adoption, euthanasia, etc.).
