Important AWP Office Information – COVID-19

To combat the spread of COVID-19, the AWP Office will be adhering to social distancing recommendations by limiting face-to-face contact and communicating primarily via email, phone or Zoom. We may also be dealing with reduced staffing or out-of-office work at times, and ask for patience during this period.

Please note that many of our IACUC committee members and staff have additional obligations during this period, which may result in a slowdown in review and processing time of protocols. To avoid delays and expirations, we highly encourage new submissions to be sent in sooner rather than later to allow for additional review time.

Please contact the AWP Office with any questions or concerns. Currently, the best way to reach us is by emailing our group email at iacuc@wsu.edu. For additional contact information, please visit our contacts page.

For more information on COVID-19, please visit WSU’s COVID-19 Update Page and the CDC Page for COVID-19.
