First published Tuesday, September 5, 2023
The University awarded a contract for IACUC and AOPS Modules.
Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee (IACUC) and Animal Operations (AOPS) modules. By using a single vendor for all of the systems, we are able to leverage the integration of software and data. This will enable the Conflict of Interest (COI) team to appropriately review studies when the researchers might have a conflict of interest and make the necessary changes to management plans.
This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for procurement expenditures for any ongoing software license or maintenance agreement or competitively solicited software purchase, when the software, license, or maintenance agreement is available through only the software creator or its manufacturer and not a reseller ( 30 ILCS 500/1-13 (b)(10)) By automating, the connections between these regulatory software systems our goal is to decrease the risk to the university as the research portfolio continues to grow.
