Return for Minor Revisions

This action allows the IACUC Administrator to return an IACUC protocol for minor revisions following a full committee review or a designated member review. The Minor Revisions determination indicates that an investigator needs to make changes to a protocol to secure IACUC approval. The changes requested by the IACUC office and/or reviewers are communicated to the investigator through review comments.
