GUIDELINE FOR THE APPLICATION OF ANIMAL ETHICS APPROVAL FOR PROJECTS CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF MALAYSIA

  1. Researchers are required to apply for animal ethics approval from USM IACUC as the students are registered under USM. The study can only start when the approval from USM IACUC is obtained.
  2. Researchers are also required to apply for animal ethics approval from the study site. A copy of the animal ethics approval from the study site must be submitted to the USM IACUC when the application to IACUC is made. If the approval from the study site is neither in Malay nor English, a translation of the approval must be provided. The USM IACUC approval will only be issued after a copy of approval from the study site is submitted to USM IACUC.
  3. Researchers need to comply with the rules and regulations of Malaysia as well as the rules and regulations of the country where the study will be conducted.
  4. There should be a Field Supervisor or Co-Researcher among the academic staff from the institution where the animals will be housed. The signature of the Field Supervisor or Co-Researcher must be in the form.
  5. Both ethical approvals need to be stated in the thesis. For the purpose of publication, researchers are encouraged to state the ethical approval from the place where the study is conducted; it is not mandatory to include ethical approval from USM IACUC.
  6. If requested by USM IACUC, researchers need to attach the animal ethics application form from the study site. The translation of some parts of the form (if neither in Malay nor English) must be provided by the researcher if requested by USM IACUC.
