I'm New!

Welcome to the Division of Laboratory Animal Resources (DLAR) at Stony Brook University! This page provides a checklist to help new researchers navigate how to get started!

Step 1

Write your IACUC Protocol. After receiving a stonybrook.edu or stonybrookmedicine.edu email address, please follow the instructions outlined in the IACUC Submission Guidelines. If you need additional support, please  contact ORC_OVPR@stonybrook.edu

Step 2

Obtain Occupational Medicine Clearance. Please go the DLAR App and sign in using your email address and NetID password. If you need additional assistance, please submit a ticket referencing the NDLAR (SBU/SBM) app.

Step 3

Obtain facility access by following the instructions outlined in the Orientation Class. Facility access is strictly enforced and visitors are not permitted without Director approval. See our Visitors Policy for more details.

Step 4

Ordering animals from vendors can be done through our Topaz system. If you need assistance with the animal order forms, please contact Veralynn.Perillo@stonybrook.edu.

Importing animals from another institution can also be done through our Topaz system, and if you require help with this, please contact Sandra.Scherrer@stonybrook.edu.

Step 5

Need to request a special diet for your animals or animal transport across campus? Check out our Animal Care page.

Need to request technical assistance or full study support? Check out our Research Support page. 

Need to arrange for imaging or procedure room reservation? Please utilize our iLab Calendars to make a reservation, and contact DLAR_Training@stonybrook.edu to get started on this equipment.

 

What if I'm a new student or technician working in a research lab?

Please start by completing the mandatory Orientation Class, which will instruct you on the correct CITI modules to take, and provide you the Security Access Form to download.
 
You must then ask your PI to add you to their protocol on both the DLARApp AND myResearch websites.
 
Once you have been added to the protocol, email the following to veralynn.perillo@stonybrook.edu
  1. Your CITI certificates
  2. Your signed Security Access Form 
  3. The front and back of your SBU ID badge
  4. Your IACUC Protocol number
Within two business days, please check that your ID works to access the facilities.
