Investigator Approved protocols typically expire after a year since approval. If the investigator wants to renew the IACUC approval of a project that received approval within the past year, they need to submit a renewal request. The renewal without amendment action allows the investigator to submit a standard renewal request. No changes to the protocol are allowed with this action with the exception of being able to add an attachment.
