To Submit a New/de novo Protocol:
A new protocol covers a newly approved project and is initially approved for three years. All protocols expire on the third anniversary of approval (this is a hard expiration date per regulations) and must be resubmitted and approved de novo before this date. The entire protocol will be evaluated at the time of renewal and previous approval does not guarantee future approval due to regulatory and policy updates during the previous three years. You will need to download the following step-by-step instructions:
