Animal Care and Use

LAMPS: Lab Animal Management & Protocol System


The first time you enter LAMPS, you must enable pop-ups!


LAMPS has two modules: eProtocol for submitting protocols and eAnimal Ordering for submitting animal requisitions and tracking cages.

New Form Version is Live in LAMPS

As of March 7, 2026, an updated version of the LAMPS IACUC protocol form is now available.  Most changes are revisions to the question text designed to better communicate how to answer protocol questions.  The update includes one new question collecting information about PI Maintained Housing locations within DCM centralized facilities.

The new form will be automatically applied to all new submissions, approved protocols opened in edit mode, or when in-flight submissions are returned to the PI for revisions.  See the IACUC New Form Guidance document for more information about the form changes.
eTransfer
Coming soon, the animal transfer process will change to an electronic, web-based solution providing streamlined process with greater insight into the status of animal transfers.  See eTransfer Resources for more information.
