ACUC Frequently Asked Questions
When must I use the Research Administration Management Portal (RAMP)?
All Animal Use Protocols, including triennial rewrites and amendments, must be submitted electronically through RAMP.
How do I access the system?
RAMP is available within the myFSU portal as an icon under the myFSU Links section. The system is designed to be part of the single sign-on process, allowing users to conveniently access RAMP along with other university systems within a single platform using one set of login credentials. RAMP can also be accessed through clicking on the link within an email notification generated by the system as action items appear in a user’s inbox.
Will I receive notifications of updates on the status of my protocols?
The Principal Investigator (PI) and designated proxy will be notified via email when an action is required on the protocol. These individuals will also be notified via email when a final determination is made on the protocol. Although the PI or team members can log into RAMP to view the status of protocols, notifications will not be sent for every status update.
How do I learn to use the new system?
LAR veterinarians are available to provide individualized RAMP training or protocol development consultation. To schedule, contact Dr. William Hill at 850-644-6411 or Dr. Kathleen Harper at 850-644-0623.
How do I get assistance with questions?
