GUIDELINE FOR THE APPLICATION OF ANIMAL ETHICS APPROVAL FOR PROJECTS CONDUCTED OUTSIDE 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 commence once approval from the USM IACUC has been obtained.
  2. Researchers must 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 applying for USM IACUC approval. If the approval from the study site is in a language other than Malay or English, a translated version of the approval must be provided. The USM IACUC approval will only be issued after a copy of the approval from the study site has been submitted to USM IACUC.
  3. Researchers are required to comply with the laws and regulations of Malaysia as well as those of the country where the study is conducted.
  4. A Field Supervisor or Co-Researcher from the academic staff of the institution where the animals will be housed must be identified. The signature of the Field Supervisor or Co-Researcher is required on the application form.
  5. Both ethical approvals must be referenced in the thesis. For publication purposes, researchers are encouraged to state the ethical approval obtained from the study site; however, it is not mandatory to include ethical approval from the USM IACUC.
  6. If requested by the USM IACUC, researchers must attach the animal ethics application form submitted to the study site. For forms written in languages other than Malay or English, researchers must provide translations of the required sections upon request by the USM IACUC.
