General EnCCoMPass Help

All research, testing and training using animals must first be approved by Institution’s Animal Care and Use Committee. Approval is granted by completing an animal protocol using the EnCCoMPass application and submitting it for review. All staff using animals must have the skills and training necessary to conduct the procedures described in the protocol. If you require training please register at MSKCC or WCMC to arrange both didactic and hands-on training.

Staff with institution issued ID cards may obtain access to RARC’s animal facilities by completing an Animal Facilities Access Authorization Form (WCMC) or (MSKCC) which can be obtained from RARC’s administrative office (MSKCC - Z-920; WCMC – E700). Employees requesting access must be listed on an approved Animal Use Protocol, complete the online New Investigator Orientation Curriculum and be compliant with the institution’s Occupational Health and Safety Program.
