Clinical Research Review Committee (CRRC)

The VMBS requires CRRC review and approval if non-residual sample collection, diagnostics, treatment, or animal care is influenced by considerations other than the needs of the patient.

If you have questions about whether or not your study requires CRRC review and approval, please contact Dr. Christine Budke at cbudke@cvm.tamu.edu.

All CRRC submissions must now be routed through the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and must be accompanied by an animal use protocol (AUP). Please note that the VMBS uses different “Owner Consent Forms” than the rest of The Texas A&M University System. Please visit the Research Compliance & Biosafety IACUC website for further details.

Required Forms:

1. Animal Use Protocol (AUP) – VMBS_Informed-Owner-Consent-Form-for-Teaching Laboratories_2024_(table)
2. Owner Consent Form –  VMBS_Research-Consent-Form_2024_DRAFT

Any questions regarding the use of or the completion of the above forms should be directed to Taylor Sanders at taysanders@tamu.edu.

Members are appointed by department heads. Committee members are comprised of one to two representatives from each Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) Department, the Campus Veterinarian (or his/her designate), a member from an outside college, and a community representative. Ex-officio members include the Associate Dean of Hospital Operations and the Associate Dean for Research & Graduate Studies. Other ex-officio members may be added at the discretion of the Associate Dean for Research & Graduate Studies. The Chair is elected by the Committee. A membership term is three years and may be renewed. The expiration of terms will be staggered to ensure continuity within the committee.
