Occupational Health Services Program Enrollment

All principal investigators (PI) and research staff performing animal procedures must complete two requirements prior to Animal Study Protocol (ASP) or addendum approval:


  • AALAS Online Training
  • Occupational Health Services (OHS) Program Enrollment


Please follow this link for more information on IACUC onboarding: https://iacuc.northwestern.edu/getting-started/training.html

All individuals listed on an ASP must initiate the OHS process prior to IACUC submission. This process may occur concurrently with the IACUC review and approval process. However, official approval will not be granted unless enrollment requirements are met.


All personnel must renew OHS enrollment every three years.

This is required for every researcher unless a valid OHS clearance is already on file.


YOU WILL NEED TO FILL OUT A HEALTH HISTORY QUESTIONNAIRE BEFORE YOU CAN BE CLEARED.

All employees seeking to enroll in OHS must complete the Health History Evaluation. Without a Health History Evaluation, you cannot complete enrollment and you are not eligible to work with animals. This applies for reenrollment as well.


There are no exceptions.
