Animal Use Proposal Submissions<\/h2>\n

All animal use proposals are submitted through Artemis<\/a> to the Office of Animal Care & Use for review by IACUC.<\/p>\n

In order to meet UGA network security requirements, off campus access to Artemis now requires the use of the UGA remote access VPN.<\/p>\n

Information regarding the installation and configuration of the VPN client can be found at the CAES Office of Information Technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once connected to the UGA remote access VPN on your device or computer, you can access it via this link to Artemis<\/a> .<\/p>\n

For UGA VPN support, please contact the EITS helpdesk<\/a>\u00a0or 706-542-3106.<\/p>\n

For Artemis support, please contact Christopher Carter at crcarter@uga.edu<\/a> or 706-542-7378.<\/p>\n
