What to do:
- Send an e-mail to anne.am@ntnu.no and ask for username and password to FOTS.
- Login to FOTS and fill inn your ethical application.
- The application is sent for a local evaluation to make sure the facility has the necessary equipment and competence to perform the research project. The researcher might also receive advice regarding implementation of the 3Rs.
- The application is sent to the Food Safety Authorities for evaluation. The maximum application processing time is 40 working days, with a possibility of 15 additional days for extra complex projects.
- After approval of your ethical application, you might order your animals and start your research project.
