This introductory course is designed to enable researchers and other employees to understand the kinds of activities that may raise export control considerations so that they can proactively engage with the Office of Ethics and Compliance (OEC) for guidance on whether the regulations apply in specific situations. The target audience for the course is USC faculty and staff who conduct restricted research, and research units and other departments affected by export controls. The course must be completed in Trojan Learn.

Animal Care and Use Training Refresher
In addition to the initial training course, the IACUC requires that each investigator offer an annual animal refresher course using the materials on dar.usc.edu on animal care and use at USC to their laboratory staff on an annual basis. A DAR veterinarian is also available, on request, to perform this training instead of the investigator. Please email a DAR veterinarian to schedule this. Note that completion of the annual refresher training is mandatory for all labs utilizing animals in research. However, do not send your checklist or personnel sign in sheet to the Department of Animal Resources. This documentation must be maintained with your laboratory records and must be available for inspection by the IACUC on request.
