Animal Use Qualifications - To be approved to work with vertebrate animals at Purdue University, you must have an Animal Use Qualification Form on file with the Purdue Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). This is the first step that must be taken to use vertebrate animals at Purdue. To complete the Animal Use Qualification Form, please refer to the links below:

Animal Use Qualification Documentation - Purdue Employees with Career Accounts

Animal Use Qualification Documentation - Non-Purdue Employees or Non-Career Account Holders

CITI Training Information – After you have completed the Animal Use Qualification Form, you will be asked by the IACUC office to complete step 2 which involves completing relevant Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) on-line modules. Information on how to complete these on-line modules will be sent to you via email once the IACUC office has received your Animal Use Qualification Form.

If you prefer to begin completing the CITI modules prior to the IACUC office contacting you, you may do so by following the instructions at the link below.

CITI Instructions

Vertebrate Animal Protocol Application – The third step that must be completed to use animals at Purdue University is to make sure that you are listed on an approved protocol application. Protocol applications / Amendments to Protocol Applications may only be submitted by faculty or senior research scientists/associates (commonly called Principal Investigators – PI’s). PI’s must list all personnel on the protocol application who will be working with vertebrate animals as part of their research, teaching, or testing activities. If a PI needs to add personnel after a protocol application has been approved by IACUC, they may do so by submitting an Amendment to the approved protocol. No one should be listed on, or added to, a protocol application unless he/she has completed Steps 1 and 2 above.

For further assistance with this process, please contact the IACUC office at lap@purdue.edu or (765) 494-9163.

Production Lists

DGA Members, publication of the Productions Lists has resumed. Log in to view the Lists in the sidebar to the right.

The Production Lists are divided into a list for the BA contracts, another for the FLTTA contracts, and a list for Networks and Local Television Stations. The information is separated by state within each list, and include a clickable state index for easy navigation. These lists are provided as a resource for networking of current and future projects, but are not a job referral or employment service as there is no promise of openings on the productions listed.

The Supreme Court says it will hear arguments next year on the availability of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions.

ABC News on Wednesday announced how Republican presidential candidates will be able to qualify for the network's upcoming New Hampshire primary debate in January.

To earn a spot on stage, candidates will either have to finish in the top three in the Iowa caucuses or receive at least 10% in two separate national polls of Republican primary voters or at least 10% in two separate New Hampshire polls of Republican primary voters that that meet ABC's standards for reporting.

The same pollster can count more than once only if the polls are conducted in wholly separate field periods.

ABC and local station WMUR announced earlier this month that they would be coordinating with the New Hampshire Republican State Committee for a 9 p.m. EST, Jan. 18, debate at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The debate will be held just five days before the state's Republican primary and three days after the Iowa caucuses, which are scheduled for Jan. 15. The results from those two states will deliver the first evidence of where voters are leaning in selecting the GOP's 2024 nominee.

Former President Donald Trump is the clear front-runner in polling, despite his controversies and legal troubles. (He denies all wrongdoing.) He has also declined to participate in any debates, saying there's no point because of his popularity, though rivals like Ron DeSantis have slammed his absence.

To determine eligibility for ABC's debate, only polling data collected from surveys that began no earlier than Nov. 27 and are released no later than noon on Jan. 16 will be considered. Poll results reported with a decimal place will not be rounded up or down.

For debate qualification purposes, polls conducted by the following entities will be considered eligible: ABC News/Washington Post, ABC News/Ipsos, CBS News/YouGov, CNN, Emerson College/WHDH, Fox News, Fox Business News, Marist College, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, Monmouth University/The Washington Post, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, Quinnipiac University, University of New Hampshire/CNN, Saint Anselm College, Suffolk University/Boston Globe/USA TODAY and The Wall Street Journal.

Currently, Trump, Florida Gov. DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie would qualify for the New Hampshire primary debate.

Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson have not yet reached 10% in a qualifying national or New Hampshire poll, so they would each need either two national or two state surveys to reach the threshold.

Ramaswamy and Hutchinson could also place top three in Iowa in order to qualify.
