All proposals and amendment applications must be submitted to the RSD Ethics Office (animal.ethics@anu.edu.au) by the updated submission deadlines, as listed in the table below. 

After receiving your ethics application, the Animal Experimentation Ethics Committee (AEEC) may request further comment or clarification from you before the meeting date. 

We strongly recommend that you prepare your application early to allow sufficient time for review and feedback prior to submission. If you have a protocol that is due for renewal, we recommend submitting your renewal application at least two AEEC meetings prior to your end date.

**End of year/start of next year submissions: This is the last meeting for the year. If you need an approval before the end of January next year, please ensure that you submit by this last meeting's submission date.
