Practical information - after you have started your project
Information to the research groups using the Lab Animal Facility, useful when you have started your lab animal project(s).
Practical information - after you have started an approved project
Changes of an approved protocol
If you need to do changes in a project approved by Mattilsynet you have to apply for this in FOTS (Application for changes)
You have to update the project summary that shall include the following:
- Purpose of the study
- Expected harm/severity for the animals
- Expected benefit for science or society
- How many and what kind of animals will be used (totally in this experiment)
- How are compliance with the requirements for replacement, reduction and refinement safeguarded
I must be made clear how changes will influence animals, how many aniamls that are influenced by the change and you have to update the severity classification, see http://org.uib.no/dyreavd/Classificationseverity.pdf for more information
For minor changes that do not have any negavitve impat on animals you only have to send a “Notification about changes” in FOTS
