Animal Management

The acquisition and management of animals for use in approved research or teaching activities is managed by Veterinary Services. Principal Investigators and approved study personnel may manage animal information in the Animal Resource Center (ARC) module of the iRIS platform. 

iRIS Access

The iRIS platform (also known as iMedRIS) is used to create and manage studies that require regulatory compliance review. All studies that require IRB approval must be submitted for review in iRIS. Howard University personnel and students who require iRIS access may request an iRIS account by completing the iRIS User Access Request Form. To provide iRIS access to non-HU study personnel, please contact the ORRC.  For more information on how to access and use the iRIS platform, visit the iRIS section of this website.
